We knew of each other for many years before dating because of Gabe being Lizzies brother. But it wasn't until a night out with friends that we actually got to know each other better. I was meeting Lizzie and her husband out in Fremont and low and behold Gabe just happened to be out that night! We like to say Lizzie was our secret match maker! After that first night of getting to know each other better, we spent many evenings at the Alibi room eating pizza and diving deep into conversation! It was like I had knew him for years, and we were old best friends. Our life’s lined up perfectly for each other. We completely fell in love almost immediately! Both of us knew we wanted to get married and start our life’s together! And here we are :)
It was an average rainy evening at our home in Seattle. I was in pj's doing the dishes when Gabe suddenly knocked on the front door! It took me by surprise, because we had lived together for about 6 months! I took my sweet time getting to the front door and was shocked to see him down on his knee as I opened the door!! There he was in the pouring rain, with flowers, champagne glasses and a tiny little box! And i said "yes!" Little did Gabe know, he actually popped the question on my dads birthday. It was so special
