Gabriel & Diana's Wedding

Our Wedding

Welcome to our Adventure

Once upon a scroll and a swipe, our story began in the most unexpected, magical way — online. From the very first message, we felt something spark. A connection that grew quickly into late-night conversations, shared dreams, and a love that felt like home. We bonded over our love for Disney, cozy coffee dates, and epic movie nights in Middle-earth. We saw ourselves in Arwen and Aragorn — two hearts choosing each other, no matter the distance or the years. In a year and a half, we’ve created a world of our own. And even now, as we plan the day we say “I do,” we know our greatest adventures are still ahead. Because we still have boxes to fill — with dreams, with laughter, and with all the beautiful things love brings. This isn’t just a love story.It’s our forever.﻿

Hi I’m Annabelle, one of Gabriel’s nieces. I just got back from Ireland where I performed with my dancing school. Dance is probably my biggest passion, I’ve been dancing since I was 3 1/2! I’m currently in my last year of physical therapy school and will finish my doctorate of physical therapy in May. I’m excited to welcome Diana into our family and celebrate the love my uncle and Diana share.

Hello everyone! My name is Brianna, and I am super hyped to be a part of such a beautiful and big day for Diana and Gabriel as one of the bridesmaids! I am 21 years old, about to be 22 this year, and I am working on my Master's in Occupational Therapy, and I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology. I am also a huge Star Wars (Chewbacca), Lego, Funko, and Disney fan, which is where I get my love for collector items. I have been friends with Diana for some years now, and I am happy that I have been able to add a caring friend to my friend list, Gabriel. Watching the two grow with each other and in Lego terms click like two perfect pieces has been so amazing. I couldn’t be happier for them, and for the many adventures ahead they will have with each other, and building memories like in the movie Up. Similarly, Carl and Ellie traveled the world with each other for an amazing, memorable adventure, and you guys will cruise through the galaxy together. I cannot wait to hear about the amazing adventures, and as always, May the Force be with you, my two friends!
