we swiped right. we talked about serial killers and soccer. monil made gabrielle indian food. that's all it took.

monil arranged what gabrielle thought was a birthday dinner at the charlestown navy yard. monil got down on one knee and popped the question, while gabrielle was mid-bite of a lobster roll. she chewed and risked choking to be able to say (nod) yes! upon returning home, all of gabrielle's and monil's closest friends were waiting, in person and on zoom! there was a celebration that lasted long into the night, and gabrielle ordered a wedding planning book the very next day.
