Nicole and Gabe's love story is one that captures the essence of patience, courage, and the power of timing. Although they knew of each other in high school, it wasn't until three years later, in November of 2020, that Gabe finally found the courage to reach out to Nicole. Taking a modern approach, he "slid into her DMs," sparking a connection that would change both of their lives forever. From the moment they started talking, Nicole and Gabe were inseparable. Even amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, their bond only grew stronger as they found creative ways to spend time together and appreciate every moment they had. Their relationship blossomed quickly, but rather than being intimidated by the speed at which they fell for each other, Nicole and Gabe embraced it wholeheartedly. They spent countless hours together, particularly at Coit Tower, where they would dream about their future. It was there, in the heart of San Francisco, that they felt safe and comfortable discussing their shared aspirations, including the possibility of marriage. As they explored the city together, they experienced many significant milestones that would forever be etched in their memories. Their first kiss took place at Twin Peaks, the question of becoming boyfriend and girlfriend was asked and answered amidst the breathtaking views of Angel Island. And it was at the Palace of Fine Arts that they professed their love for each other for the first time. But perhaps the most unforgettable moment of all occurred at Coit Tower, where their journey had begun. Gabe got down on one knee and asked Nicole to marry him. Overwhelmed with joy and love, she said yes, sealing their commitment to each other in a moment that felt like a dream come true. Now, Nicole and Gabe are eagerly anticipating their wedding day. Living happily together in Niles, they look forward to embarking on this new chapter of their lives as husband and wife, knowing that their love story is just beginning.
