It all started at a birthday party in 2015. Two strangers, Faye and Gab, brought together by a mutual friend and a random invite. What began as small talk turned into something more—quiet interest, a shared sense of humor, and conversations that lingered long after the music stopped. By June 12, 2016, they made it official. They supported each other through the grind of college—Faye graduating in 2018, Gab in 2019. That same year, Faye passed her board exams and became a registered nurse. Gab followed with his own milestone, becoming a licensed engineer. Side by side, they landed their first jobs and took their first steps into the real world. 2022 gave them something they’d both dreamed of—traveling together. New places, new memories, the same steady love. In 2023, they took a bigger leap and migrated to New Zealand, building a life from scratch in a new land. And on December 28, 2024, after nine years together, Gab dropped to one knee and asked the question Faye already knew the answer to. Now in 2025, they stand before friends and family—no longer just two people who met at a party, but partners who built a future one milestone at a time. Nine years strong. And just getting started.
