Gabriel and I met in October 2022 when I got hired on at the film production company that he was already working for. We became fast friends, but only saw each other at work and had no romantic interest in each other. During the summer of 2023 Gabe had gotten busier with other things and wasn't working as much with our company. In August we were back on a shoot together and got to have a reunion with our group of coworker friends. When the work day was over we stayed late at the office with another coworker to catch up for a few hours. That night after we had all gone home, Gabe sent me a voice memo (like he loves to do) expressing that that the Lord had told him to be a dependable friend to me in this season. It was so very kind- that was the first time I started to question things in my head. Was there something here that I had never seen before? This caused us to start texting a lot more and genuinely getting to know each other and become close friends. By the end of the month we were seeing a lot of each other through working on projects together at work. Essentially, during this time the Lord started to turn our hearts towards each other. Eventually he asked me to dinner so we could discuss things and we decided to take some time before dating to really get to know each other better but with the intention of dating in the end. On October 22, 2023 we officially started dating and now almost a year later we will be married!
