We met in August of our second year at Wheaton College (IL) on an event planning team called College Union. We quickly became close friends with each of us always trying to find times and making excuses to hang out. There were many nights spent studying (same major!!) and doing crafts in our college's craft kitchen for many of Molly's art coordinator tasks. On College Union, there was a rule you could not date a member of the team for the first semester, and to her surprise, Gabe thought it was the whole year :-) After Molly quickly corrected this, Gabe admitted to liking Molly and asked her out on a date!! We started dating February 1st, 2023. Gabe proposed on February 16, 2025 at the Chicago beach where we had our first date about 2 years earlier :)
