Our story
Ryan and Gabby’s love story began with a single unexpected moment.
One fall day during their senior year of high school, Gabby was sitting at a table in the library studying. Ryan decided to approach a classmate who was sitting at the same table to copy her homework. With a friendly hello and a judgmental wave from Gabby, the conversations began.
Every day thereafter, Ryan continued coming into the library, sitting across from Gabby, and occasionally copying someone’s homework. As their simple conversations grew, Ryan soon found out that Gabby had never been to Moe’s. Ryan, shocked by this revelation, asked Gabby to go with him to Moe’s later that week. Gabby never thought it was a date; Ryan thought it was — and from that day on, they were inseparable.
Over the years, Ryan and Gabby witnessed each other’s growth: from applying to colleges, finishing high school and college together, to Gabby proudly watching Ryan begin his first career in Maryland, to Ryan cheering Gabby on throughout PA school. They’ve seen it all and have only made each other stronger. Finally, after 11 years, Ryan decided to propose where it all began — in the high school library.
Now, they prepare to say “I do” and start their next chapter. As two people who crave adventure and stories, they’ve always known they would bring their closest family and friends together in a place full of new experiences. They can’t wait to celebrate with their loved ones in Portugal.
