In April of 2012, Christen & Gabe met through mutual friends & became friends themselves. They were both in relationships at the time, & thought nothing else of it. As years passed, Christen & Gabe remained close. Towards the end of 2014, they both found themselves, single. They promised each other that they were going to make 2015 the best year yet, by planning many mini adventures & trips together. Little did they know that their friendship would soon become more. In October 2015, they traveled to the Poconos to celebrate Christen's Birthday. Surrounded by the great outdoors, the smell of fresh pine, & coffee on the table, something clicked inside their heads. They both realized that they really enjoyed each other's company. Each one knew how to make the other laugh. They both understood each other's past & wanted to be a part of each other's future. It wasn't until 2 months later, when Christen finally asked Gabe to be her boyfriend that Gabe responded, "I thought I already was."
