It all started in September 2009. Gabi and Dan randomly met online, talked everyday for two weeks until they both got the courage of meeting in person for a date. Their first date they went to dinner and to the movies. They had such a great connection by the end of the date they became inseparable.

December 2009, Gabi and Dan visited Dan's family in Florida for Christmas break. It was New Years Eve when Dan made a comment to Gabi that one of his new years resolutions was to get married. Dan's birthday January 12th, 2009 is when Dan asked Gabi to marry him and asked Natale for his permission. Natale approved and the wedding arrangements begun.

March 9th, 2009 was wedding day. It was a snowy day in Tacoma. A few close family members and friends joined them for their special day at the Tacoma Court House. It wasn't long after their wedding day that Dan was deployed to Afghanistan for a year from July 2009- July 2010.

After deployment Gabi and Dan learned how to reconnect and went through a lot of changes from where they lived to new jobs. Before they knew it, they were pregnant with their first child.

In their marriage they have supported each other in so many ways. They have moved many times, bought their forever home, changed jobs, gone through loss together and learned to be parents to two amazing children. After many years together they have learned how to become stronger through any challenges that have come their way.

Fast forward to April 2023, Dan took Gabi on a getaway weekend to Snoqualmie Falls. This is where he decided to re-propose to Gabi and she accepted!

We are so excited to be able to renew our vows to each other and finally have a special day to celebrate with our closest family and friends. We are also excited to have Ava and Robby apart of this day, they have been chosen to be Maid of Honor and Best Man!
