Luke and Gabby were introduced by friends from work who thought they’d be a great match—and they were right. Their first date started at Two Hands in The Factory in Franklin, Tennessee, followed by a magic show neither of them had ever been to before, which made the night feel even more memorable. After ice cream at Jeni’s and hours of conversation, the evening ended with a hug, a lift off the ground, and Gabby accidentally saying “I love you.” From the beginning, their relationship was marked by intention, joy, and a redemptive kind of love that felt deeply life-giving. Less than a year later, Luke proposed on January 1, 2026, at Rock Island State Park, and they’ve been grateful ever since for the story God was writing.
