We met in 2018 while working at the Newbury Park In-n-Out location, just seven minutes away from where we will be getting married.

Not long after working together we went on our first date after a closing shift to a late night ramen restaurant in LA.

On the drive back, Gaby "accidentally" missed all the exits so that we would spend more time in the car together before we got back.

After that night, it wasn't long until May when we made our relationship official.

We were both finishing school and living in different cities then, so many late nights were spent in those days driving back and forth to visit each other when we could between college and work.

Finally in 2021, after graduation, we finally got our first place together and moved to San Diego.

Then after a couple years together in the same place, we got engaged in December of 2023!
