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.
