Nick and Gabby met in November 2011 at a football game at Mira Mesa High School. Gabby was attending high school in Murrieta (sadly) and had decided to spend the weekend in Mira Mesa with some friends. They decided to go to the Friday night football game. At the game, Gabby and friends were minding their own business when Gabby bumped into Nick (later to find out this meet cute was orchestrated by him) and the rest is history! Because they were long distance, their quality time was made of phone calls, texting (during class), and walks around the Mira Mesa Rec Center whenever Gabby would come down from Murrieta. It wasn't until they got their licenses 2 years into dating that visits with each other got more frequent. Nick and Gabby are privileged to say they were together all 4 years of high school.

Fast forward to fall 2015, Nick and Gabby both went off to college. Still choosing to go strong, they visited each other any free chance they got even if it meant driving back to their respective cities at 4AM. In 2019, Nick graduated with a Bachelor's in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences from SDSU and Gabby graduated with a Bachelor's in General Biology from Cal Poly Pomona.

Post college, Nick pursued his Doctorate at a joint program between SDSU and UCSD. Gabby gained work experience and prioritized her family. Ultimately, she went back to trade school and received certification as a Surgical Technologist. Both were pursuing their separate goals while still maintaining a long distance relationship *whew*

Finally, in 2022, Gabby was hired at a hospital in San Diego and lived in the same city as Nick! It only took 11 years.

In 2023, Nick graduated with his Doctorate in Audiology and began working at Rady Children's. Since, Gabby and Nick have moved in together and have loved every second of this phase in life.

March 22nd, 2025, Nick (FINALLY) got on one knee and proposed to Gabby at a beautiful home in Sunset Cliffs surrounded by friends and family. Since, they have decided to elope on their 14 year anniversary on 12.22.2025!

It is so hard to summarize 13 years together, but through it all, Nick and Gabby have prioritized each other year after year. College aside, Nick and Gabby have also made many memories traveling and trying new activities. From skydiving in Hawaii, roadtripping the coast of California, kayaking in Lake Tahoe, Disney trips, snowstorms in the Grand Canyon, and many more they know their favorite past time is each others company.

The next big adventure begins in December! They are so excited to be husband and wife and celebrate this next chapter with you all!
