At about fifteen years old our paths crossed at a high school party without us even realizing it. It wasn't until our early twenties when my roommate and I had a get together at our south city home that Gabriel and I would meet again. That evening we shared conversation, laughter and possibly a few smooches that led us to the alter today.
On January 23rd, 2021 my Dad's high school buddies hosted a very special get together to support my Dad in his journey battling stage 4 colon cancer. Upon arrival it felt like Gabriel had sort of disappeared. Little did I know he had pulled my Dad aside to ask for my hand in marriage. Gabriel knows how much my dad means to me and wanted him to be a part of our special moment. Not long after their talk Gabriel got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Without a doubt in my mind, I said yes.
