Reception

Our Wedding

Devon and Gabby met in June of 2021 the old fashioned way... one night at a bar. Gabby was sitting with her best friends at a table talking and laughing when she noticed Devon and his best friend sitting at the table next to them. They made eye contact a few times and Devon finally decided to walk over and introduce himself. The whole group laughed and talked for hours.

How We Met

Devon and Gabby both ended up leaving that night with just a snapchat, but through that they planned to go out to dinner a few days later. They went on a date almost every night that week! She invited him on her dad's boat to celebrate the 4th of July, they went to Barefoot Country Music Festival in August, and traveled to Florida in September. In the midst of all of that, Devon asked her to be his girlfriend and slipped the first I love you 2 weeks into dating.

Summer Lovin'

Devon and Gabby found out in December 2021 that they were expecting little baby Chase. Their lives haven't slowed down since the second they met! Although the first year of having a baby can be extremely challenging on a relationship (and it was!) their love has grown in new ways and continues to do so. Devon and Gabby are soaking up every minute of loving the little family they've created and can't wait to celebrate this next step with their closest family and friends!

A Little Surprise!

Johnny lives in Florida, but distance doesn't keep these two apart.
