Our Wedding

Our story began in November 2019, when Matt started working at the Chick-fil-A where I (Gabi) was working. It wasn’t an instant connection, but as the days went by, we found ourselves drawn to each other. On February 26th, Matt finally asked me out on our first date, and by March 8, 2020, we officially started dating. Just three months into our relationship, I had to leave for Army basic training. We knew it would be challenging to be apart for five long months, but we placed our faith and trust in God, knowing He would guide us through. Our love for each other and our shared faith kept us strong. The distance tested us, but it also strengthened our bond and deepened our commitment. Looking back, all the hardships were worth it because they led us to this beautiful moment in our journey together. Through it all, our unwavering faith in God and His plans for us have been our foundation. Five wonderful years later, we’re excited to share the next chapter of our story with all of you as we embark on this incredible journey toward marriage. “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:2-3
