Reception

Sparkler Exit

We met as graduate students at the University of Florida in August 2023. When we first met, Gabby's first thought was "Wow! He's really tall!" Scott's first thought was "Wow! Short and cute." For our first date, we went to Coffee Culture and immediately bonded over many shared interests, including hiking, our secret emo phases, and love of real Christmas trees. This would be the first of many coffee dates that the two of us would share. We officially started dating September 28th and spent the first few months together going to football games, hosting board game nights, and hitting the gym. After Scott graduated in December, he started his civil engineering career in Franklin, Tennessee while Gabby stayed in Florida to finish up her master's degree and start working as an auditor in Orlando. While neither of us were excited about being apart, the long-distance only strengthened our bond. We knew that we wanted to spend every moment together. The weekends we spent together turned into mini vacations. Scott showed Gabby around Nashville, from the Parthenon to Prince's Hot Chicken (she got lite mild) to all the different waterfalls and scenic overlooks in Tennessee. In return, Gabby showed Scott all around Orlando and let him join her family's Catan games and Chick-Fil-A movie nights.

The Gabby and Scott Lore

In March of 2025, we took a vacation to Asheville, North Carolina. The trip seemed normal initially, with the two of us hiking through the Blue Ridge Mountains, trying local restaurants, and spending a day at the Biltmore. On March 28th, Scott suggested we go to Max Patch to watch the sunset. After driving up a long-winding road and taking a short hike to the top, the two of us spotted what Gabby thought was a wildlife photographer and his dog. We said a quick hello and kept walking. While Gabby was admiring the beautiful mountains, Scott pulled the ring out of his pocket, got down on one knee, and proposed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our regularly scheduled FaceTime calls have evolved to include wedding planning featuring immaculate excel spreadsheets and twenty different Pinterest boards. Both of us are so excited to begin a lifetime of coffee dates, bad jokes, and even MORE quality time together. We look forward to having everyone join us in March as we celebrate the beginning of our next chapter together!
