Gabriella and Olvein

Our story began when we were just 15 years old at youth group at church. Olvein noticed me first and has always said he liked me because he thought I was pretty and had a kind heart. From the beginning, he made it pretty clear that he liked me. What drew me to Olvein was his determination, the way he went after the things he cared about, and how genuine he was. He had a way of making me laugh and always made me feel cared for. What started as a simple friendship slowly grew into something much deeper over the years. Some of my favorite memories with Olvein are the simple ones like drinking coffee together, watching movies, laughing, and just enjoying being together. One of the greatest blessings in our lives has been our son, Mateo. Becoming parents has brought so much love and joy into our lives, and nothing means more to me than the time we spend together as a family. I’m so grateful for the life we’ve built and so excited to marry my best friend!
