The very first face-to-face interaction between Gabrielle and Donn was after a Highschool football game at In n Out Burger sophomore year. Donn noticed Gabrielle from following her on social media so he made sure to properly introduce himself as a respectful young man. The two were only able to speak for a brief moment as Gabrielle was on her way out the door just as Donn entered. Less than a year later Gabrielle reached out to Donn on social media after her school dance and asked him to meet her at a local BJ’s where he met a few of her friends and gladly cleaned the plate of their large pizza-sized Pazuki. Donn could never remove this moment from his memory. A few months later, after many attempts to reach out to Gabrielle, he finally got his chance to chat with her on a deeper level at a friend's super bowl party. Gabrielle and Donn talked for hours debating which team was best and how much they each knew about sports overall. After the game, he asked her if she was celebrating Valentine's day the following weekend with anyone in particular, and by the grace of God, she answered "no", so Donn took this opportunity and ran with it! Two weeks after their first date, Gabrielle and Donn decided to make their relationship official on 02/24/14. Every moment on from this day, the two invested deeply in one another. They searched for love as they traveled around the world to places such as South Africa, developed great relationships with each other's families, attended college together, concerts, beaches, and are now co-founders of their own business. Donn understood their dynamic was untouchable and fully empowered by God’s Love by the second year of their relationship. He stayed patient allowing life to take its course, and just before their 7th year of dating, he decided to propose at the top of their hotel balcony looking over Times Square New York.
