Our Story
Every love story is beautiful, but ours is our favorite. Here's how our journey began and where it's taking us.
First Meeting
We first met at a mutual friend's party in college. Gabriel was immediately drawn to Elyse's infectious laugh, while Elyse was charmed by Gabriel's witty sense of humor.
First Date
Our first official date was a picnic in the park followed by a walk along the river. We talked for hours about our dreams, aspirations, and favorite movies.
Becoming Official
After months of getting to know each other, we made it official. Gabriel asked Elyse to be his girlfriend during a beautiful autumn evening walk.
First Trip Together
Our first vacation together was a road trip to the mountains. We discovered our shared love for hiking, stargazing, and trying new foods.
Moving In Together
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we decided to move in together. It was the best decision we ever made, and we grew even closer during this time.
Adopting Luna
We welcomed our furry daughter Luna into our lives. This sweet rescue dog completed our little family and brought us so much joy.
Cross-Country Adventure
We embarked on an epic cross-country road trip, visiting national parks and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
The Proposal
Gabriel proposed during a winter hike to our favorite overlook. With the snow falling gently around us, he got down on one knee and asked Elyse to be his forever.
Our Wedding Day
The day we've been dreaming of - celebrating our love with all our favorite people in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.
