We first met at Youth Group when our Churches Youth Groups were combined. We did many outreaches together. Every time we all hung out was a fun time! We apparently both had secret crushes on each other. We each thought each other were very cute!

The last outreach we went on together before dating was our missions trip to Thailand. Thailand was an AMAZING experience! God laid many things on each of our hearts and taught us a lot during our experience there.

On the plane ride back home, we sat next to each other and shared music. We also fell asleep on one another's shoulders multiple times because the ride was SO long!

It was Sunday, July 21, 2019 when we shared our feelings with each other. We were out at Flamingo Lake with our friends. We were watching lightning together and at around 2:00am Gabe FINALLY had the courage to share his feelings with Bri. And of course, Bri got real happy after that.

Fast forward through four years of school and finally nearing graduation, the question was popped on June 30, 2023. After years of being together, long-distance, and trips: We will finally be together forever <3 .
