Braeden and Gabby both went to Saint Charles High School and shared many classes together. Braeden and Gabby were civil friends, but nothing more. Over the years the two became closer friends, sharing stories and fun memories with each other along with other friends. In 2020, the year of Covid-19, many of their classmates and themselves spent countless nights together doing typical high school activities. Braeden and Gabby became closer over time. Friends and parents began to mention to Gabby that she should consider dating the nice farm boy, Braeden. Gabby said "NO!". Gabby grew up in the "big city" of Saint Charles. Her parents both worked in Rochester and no one in her family farmed. She had never really been exposed to the farm life and never pictured herself being with a farmer. Gabby now loves the country life and can't wait to bring new animals home for Braeden to love and nourish. The idea of them dating never really crossed their minds (Gabby’s mind) until Braeden's graduation party. His sister called over Gabby and asked her if the two were dating. Instinctively, she said “No”. The next day Gabby told Braeden about the encounter and the two began to talk more seriously. A few days later, Braeden invited Gabby over at ~9pm to ride in the tractor as he cut hay. Braeden had to wait for his parents to go to bed, god forbid he be caught hanging out with a girl. Braeden had Gabby park as far away from the house as possible so his parents wouldn't suspect a thing. A few weeks later Braeden asked Gabby to be his girlfriend after a trip to Dairy Queen. They have now been together a little over 4 years. Fun Facts: When Braeden and Gabby were in the 11th grade, they made a pact: "If neither of us are married by age 30, we'll get married to each other" Braeden and Gabby were both born on October 26, 2002 at Methodist Hospital in Rochester. Only a few hours apart in age!
