Every morning, Mady would spot a quiet, cute Filipino boy walking through the school, and couldn’t help but wonder who he was. At the same time, Gabe had noticed a girl with red hair and bangs (he says it was a bowl cut, Mady says it was the "in thing" at the time) who always seemed to catch his eye. We were both a little shy and in different classes, so we admired each other from afar for a while. Eventually, thanks to some mutual friends, our paths officially crossed and we finally got to talk. By the end of Grade 9, we were inseparable. We started dating, and… well, the rest is history. From high school hallways to a lifetime together—who would've thought?
