On August 31, 2019 Matthew and Gabrielle spent the day together at Patriots Place and Wretham Outlets. After spending the day together, Matthew took Gabrielle to a hidden location in Canton, MA. After some craziness with getting lost, Matthew proposed in a community garden filled with sunflowers, and down a path decorated with roses. We celebrated over dinner with amazing food and wine. Big thanks to Faith Garland, Mike Valdez, Annalizia Cordova, Darlene Elkas, and Rosemary Boucher for helping Matthew plan the best day.

After months of serving at church together, Matthew asked Gabrielle to be his girlfriend. They celebrated over a cookie skillet and a day in Newport, RI.

Gabrielle and Matthew met after years of attending the same church. They ran lighting together for a conference, and became best friends and teammates.
