Holly and Gabe's love story started in high school, where they briefly dated. However, life took them in different directions as Gabe went to California, and Holly pursued her college education in Mississippi. For two years, they lost touch.

In the summer of 2017, Gabe returned to their hometown of Saint Louis, and he reached out to Holly while she was on summer break. They went on a date, reigniting their connection. Holly later transferred to Missouri State in Springfield, Missouri, to be closer to her family. Gabe began making the three-hour drive nearly every weekend to be with her.

On December 16, 2017, after seeing Christmas lights at the Anheuser Busch brewery, Gabe asked Holly to be his girlfriend.

Holly eventually moved back to Saint Louis to attend law school, and in August 2021, Gabe bought a home they could share.

On January 21, 2023, Gabe proposed to Holly at Beaver Creek Ski Resort, on top of the mountain.

Today, Holly and Gabe are excitedly planning their wedding, sharing their lives with their two beloved dogs.

Once upon a time, in the charming town of Saint Louis, two young hearts embarked on a love story that was destined to be as sweet as wedding cake frosting. Meet Holly and Gabe, a couple whose journey began in their high school days, where they had a brief flirtation with romance. Life, however, had other plans in store for them, as Gabe set off for the sunny shores of California, while Holly pursued her dreams in the heart of Mississippi. With miles and dreams between them, their connection slowly faded, and for two long years, they didn't speak or see each other.

But love has a mysterious way of bringing people back together, and destiny had a surprise in store for Holly and Gabe. In the summer of 2017, Gabe returned to his hometown of Saint Louis, Missouri. Feeling a longing in his heart, he decided to reach out to Holly while she was on her summer break. A simple message led to a heartfelt reunion, and they decided to go on a date, rekindling the flame that had been smoldering all those years.

Their love blossomed like the Missouri wildflowers, and Holly made a significant decision. She transferred to Missouri State, drawing her closer to her family and, unintentionally, to Gabe. Gabe, smitten and committed, embraced the three hour long drive to Springfield every weekend, each mile bringing them closer together in heart and spirit.

One fateful evening, on December 16, 2017, Gabe whisked Holly away to the Anheuser Busch brewery, adorned with twinkling Christmas lights. Amidst the festive ambiance, Gabe took Holly's hand and asked her to be his girlfriend, sealing their love with a kiss that tasted like gingerbread cookies and dreams of a future together.

Their love continued to flourish despite the distance, and after two years of navigating the challenges of a long-distance relationship, Holly decided to move back to Saint Louis to pursue her dreams of attending law school. It was during this time that Gabe, with a heart full of love and a sparkle in his eye, surprised Holly with a house they could call their own in August 2021. Together, they filled it with laughter, shared dreams, and two adorable dogs who brought even more joy to their lives.

But Gabe had one more surprise up his sleeve, a moment that would forever change their lives. On a crisp winter day, January 21, 2023, Gabe took Holly to the breathtaking Beaver Creek ski resort. They ascended to the top of the mountain, where the world seemed to pause in admiration of their love. Amidst the snow-covered peaks and a sky painted with hues of pink and gold, Gabe got down on one knee and asked Holly to be his forever. With tears of joy and a heart full of love, she said yes, and they shared a kiss that felt like the sweetest snowflake.

And so, Holly and Gabe's love story came full circle, from high school sweethearts to lifelong partners, their journey filled with twists, turns, and countless cherished memories. With their two loyal furry companions by their side, they embraced the adventure of life together, forever intertwined in a love story as heartwarming as a winter's embrace.
