Our Wedding

The story of Bri &amp; Gabe dates all the way back to 2016, in the once-small town of Frisco, TX. We met while working as Camp Counselors at Plano Sports Authority, attending rival high schools, and our opposite sides quickly attracted. Technically Gabe was Bri's supervisor... but not for too long! After eight (8) months spent together as best friends, Gabe decided to take the leap and elevate our relationship to boyfriend-girlfriend on February 13, 2017. (The day before Valentine's day... what a romantic!) We now fast forward to 2018, when we began our first journey together: moving away from both families to Oklahoma, to attend OU together. This time together was spent growing up, learning how to adult, paying rent for the first time, and making it through COVID-19's quarantine. How fun! After a few more years, graduating, and a couple of new job opportunities, Gabe decided it was time to give this relationship another new title: Engaged! On December 2, 2023, Bri got home from work to find an outfit laid out, sparkly heels sitting by the door, and the car ready to go. After a Christmas-light-filled drive to downtown OKC, they arrived at the Devon Tower, the tallest building in Oklahoma. It was in this exact building that Bri auditioned for her dream role as a Thunder Girl - and little did she know, it was also about to be the home of her engagement as well! After a delicious meal and some gorgeous views, Gabe got down and popped the question - a surprise to many, but a delight for all. Not long after, we hopped on a plane and took a trip to the Colorado mountains to celebrate the engagement (and get some more photos taken). It's taken a little over a year to begin the wedding planning process due to both Bri and Gabe's newly demanding schedules, but this time has not been wasted at all. In the past few years, we have pushed our way through ups and downs, supported each other through grief, celebrated each other's successes, and focused on the biggest piece to our Holy matrimony: Our relationship with the Lord. Needless to say, we both figured the whole 'adult' thing out together - and I think our friends and family would attest to a huge sigh of relief at this point in our story. Now, we are so excited to spend the culmination of over eight (8) years of hard work, laughs, tears, and a whole lot of love together with all of YOU! You may be wondering... why did we put those 8's in parenthesis? There are two 8's that are significant to our story: - It took 8 months for us to enter the BF/GF stage.- We have just completed our 8th year of being together. And now, we get to hold those 8's forever as we celebrate our marriage on 8/8. Double-infinity. Forever &amp; ever, a love that lasts. We truly appreciate all of your love, guidance and support over the last 8 years and are so grateful to give you all a weekend of island time, fun, food, dancing, and drinks - which hopefully none of us will ever forget! We know destination weddings can be hard, but we are so hopeful to celebrate with you. We haven't been able to take a vacation with our families in quite some time... and what better reason to plan one than to celebrate? Join us on our next adventure, where we will officially become one!

A Love That Lasts

Our Story

Photos

Bri would like to first honor her big cousin Kristen AaShli Jackson, who would have filled the role of Maid of Honor. Kristen joined her father, Uncle Jacob, in Heaven on February 29, 2024 - but not before giving us her blessing! When Gabe first met Kristen in 2017, she made one thing clear to him directly: That he had a lot of work to do to keep Bri happy, and that she would only be happy if he kept making Bri happy. Fast forward 4 years into our relationship: Kristen helped us through a very trying time, as she reminded us of our love for each other, what we first loved about each other, and why it was important to always fight forward for love. Then, fast forward to the big proposal - Kristen was VERY surprised, enthusiastic and excited! Gabe and I were able to visit her in the hospital shortly after the engagement on December 23, 2024, where she very adamantly kicked me out of the room to have a "private little chat" with Gabe before our marriage. To this day, I don't know what was said - but I can only imagine it was what needed to be said. I miss my big cousin so dearly, but I will walk down the aisle knowing that she loves us, celebrates us, and is pushing for us to love deeply, forever. Just like I will love her deeply, forever!
