Combined they are a part of many different backgrounds including cultures from Scotland and Dominica, not to be confused with the Dominican Republic. Phillip's great grandfather was born in Scotland and moved to Dominica where his parents were born. Eventually, his parents immigrated to New Jersey, Phillip's home state. They settled in Georgia where they have lived for over twenty years. On the other hand, Sable gets her name from her Lithuania grandfather whose last name was Syballus before they Americanized it to Sable. She also has family ties that date back to Scotland. The couple still celebrates their heritage today. Each summer they camp at the Scottish Highland Games at Grandfather Mountain, North Caroline. While each spring they attend Carnival in Atlanta, Georgia. Be on the lookout for good soca music and men in kilts during the wedding and reception!
Sable and Phillip first met at a KKPsi band service fraternity ice cream social on January 27, 2013. At the time, they were dating other people, but become Facebook friends on March 1, 2013. They continued to stay friends as they marched together in the Redcoat Band. It was not until they both enrolled in Music History II in August 2015 that they realized they were both single at the same time. Phillip needed a study partner for the hardest class anyone has ever taken. On the other hand, Sable was glad she had a friend in the class. Phillip often messaged Sable during class to distract her. Sable, who could not get her mind off of a cute guy, would respond. Phillip's master plan was working. With the help of each other, they passed the class. During the spring semester of 2016, they continued to grow closer. Finally, on July 8, 2016, Phillip asked Sable to be his girlfriend at Grandfather Mountain Look Out Point.

It started off with the Nutcracker at the Classic Center and ended up at the School of Music where Sable and Phillip first met. The School of Music has always been their home away from home during college, and it's where they made great memories together. When Phillip pulled up to the School of Music late at night, Sable knew exactly what was about to happen. During college, Sable and Phillip would sneak onto the roof and stargaze. On this particular night, Phillip took out a backpack from his back car seat and started climbing the ladder to the roof. After struggling to get to the very top, Phillip set up a blanket and candles as Sable took in the amazing view. Right before midnight on December 21, 2019, Phillip got down on one knee and asked Sable to be his wife to be!
