We met in March of 2021 at a worship night with Biltmore College Ministries at Western Carolina University, where we both went to college. Our first interaction was when Gabriel had to write my name down on the attendance sheet for that night of worship, and from then we both knew there was something there. We started dating in July of 2021, and he popped the question on January 15, 2023. We have many similarities. First and foremost, we both love the Lord and have committed our lives, as well as our relationship to him. We also love to spend time outdoors, from hunting or just shooting our guns, to camping and hiking. We cherish every moment we get to spend together, doing the things we love! Gabriel graduated in the summer of 2021 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Parks and Recreation Management degree, and Sophia graduated in May of 2023 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing degree. We are blessed to have loving friends and families, and we are so excited to see what the Lord has planned for us during this season of engagement, as well as our marriage!
