The first time they met was February 28th, 2017 at a happy hour event at Buffalo Wild Wings in Bonita Springs. After their initial introduction, they would see each other once a week at group events, being that Gabrielle was co-workers with some of Tejas' friends. However, it was not until about 3 months later until they had their first real conversation. Another 3 months later, they had their first date on August 31st, 2017 at The Grill, a restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton of Naples. Fast forward to now, they both live in Miami, FL. Tejas is an Express Lanes Program Manager for Aecom and Gabrielle is a Lead, Deployment & Destination Strategy for Royal Caribbean Group. They enjoy trying new restaurants in the area and binge watching TV shows.
