Gabriel and Kaylee met while he was at flight school down in Alabama. Their paths never crossed until just before Gabriel’s graduation, nearly 2 years after his arrival in Alabama. They met for coffee at Kaylee’s favorite coffee shop, Boldly Going, and kicked it off so well that within 6 hours Gabe asked for a second date for the very next day!

Kaylee knew Gabe was the one when she went shoe shopping with him during a stressful time. If you don't know Kaylee, she doesn't like shopping at all. At the store, Gabriel was always there to offer suggestions, run to get a different size, ands try to find a different shoe to fit the need. They were in and out of the store within 30 minutes with no tears or frustration.

After 9 months, Gabriel proposed to Kaylee at Bow Bridge in Central Park, NYC. Throughout their time together, they have enjoyed spending time with family and friends, dancing, hiking, enjoying the outdoors, rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs, attending Nashville Predators games, and taking road trips throughout the Southeastern United States.
