Briana and Gavin's love story began in 2016 at Seattle Pacific University. Gavin, a star on the SPU basketball team, and Briana, a dedicated member of the crew team, first crossed paths in the Emerson dorms. Their connection deepened through late-night study sessions in the library, and soon, they began dating.

In 2017, Gavin took Briana to Golden Gardens Beach, where he asked her to be his girlfriend after introducing her to his family and friends. That summer, they embarked on an adventure to San Francisco, where Gavin met Briana's family, solidifying their bond.

Throughout 2018, they supported each other through the highs and stresses of college life, eagerly anticipating breaks spent boating and hiking at Lake Chelan. And racing each other down the slopes of many mountains. Their summer trip to Sicily and Rome was a highlight, filled with romance and exploration.

2019 was a year of triumphs as Gavin led his team to victory at the GNAC Championships, and Briana was accepted into the SPU Nursing Program. They escaped on a scenic road trip along the 101 coast, where they reveled in the beauty of the Pacific Ocean and deepened their bond.

By 2020, Gavin had graduated, and Briana was completing her nursing clinicals. They found joy in long-distance running, hiking together, and trying out new restaurants, cherishing every moment spent in each other's company. Their love grew stronger with each shared experience as they were challenged the most with long distance dating.

In 2021, Gavin focused on getting into Dental School, while Briana pursued her first nursing job. Their dedication to their futures brought them closer as they navigated their career paths together.

2022 was a year of incredible milestones: Gavin was accepted into UW Dental School, and Briana secured her first job at Evergreen Hospital. They celebrated with an adventurous road trip to Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Crater Lake, where they marveled at the natural wonders and dreamed of their future together.

In 2023, Briana trained in mother baby unit, working night shifts, while Gavin immersed himself in dental school. Despite their busy schedules, they made time for friends and travel, embarking on a 10-day road trip to five national parks, with Sequoia and the Grand Canyon being their favorites. They ended the year with a magical skiing trip to Whistler.

The proposal at Golden Gardens Beach was magical! Gavin chose the perfect moment, surrounded by the beauty of the beach and a visit from a family of orcas. It was a heartfelt surprise, and Briana couldn't have been happier. It was the same beach he asked her to be his girlfriend, making it a beautiful full circle moment. Now, they're both excited to continue their adventures together, saying yes to every new opportunity that comes their way!

Now, after years of love, laughter, and countless cherished moments, Briana and Gavin look forward to a future filled with passion, romance, and endless adventures. They're excited to start a family and continue their journey, knowing that whatever comes next, they'll face it with humor, love, and maybe a little bit of friendly competition.

Cant wait for more and hope to see you along our journey!

With love, Gavin and Briana
