Reception

Our Wedding

Gabriella and Thomas met in July 2015 through a mutual friend, Makenzi. Makenzi invited Gabriella over to go on Thomas' pontoon boat. They spent the rest of that summer together with lots of time on the boat, endless trips to the diner eating pancakes at 1am, and simply enjoying each others company. Before Gabe went back to college that fall, Thomas officially asked her to be his girlfriend in September 2015. Over the years, they have grown so much together; a long distance relationship, moving in and buying their first house, a global pandemic, getting their first puppy - Sadie, trips to the ADK, concerts, traveling, hiking, snowmobiling, ice cream dates and everything in between. 9 years later, after a three week east coast trip, Thomas popped the question on a surprise sunset helicopter ride overlooking Nashville! It was a picture perfect moment. We are so excited to celebrate!
