Back in 2019, Gabrielle took an internship in Chicago, not knowing she would meet her future husband that summer. Michael was a sales rep at the company where Gabrielle was interning. Throughout the summer, Gabrielle + Michael got to know each other better, through post-workday happy hours, team outings, and office chit-chat.
One Friday afternoon, during a team happy hour- Gabrielle thought of a creative way to get Michael's number. (Yes- she made the first move!) She told everyone at happy hour, "let's all meet up later and go out tonight!" So, everyone put their numbers in and made a group chat and plans to meet up later on. Luckily for Gabrielle, everyone bailed on going out that night, but conveniently, Michael was able to! The two met up that night and finally got a chance to get to know each other more. After that night, Michael asked Gabrielle on a proper date for dinner and a show (Rosebud Steakhouse + Hamilton in theaters) The rest was history!
