Gabrielle & Andrew

here's how we met:

Gabrielle and Andrew met in ninth grade. Well.. maybe. They both had gym class together but they never exchanged words. Two years later they first officially met in their junior year chemistry class! Coincidence?! Throughout their junior year, they both got to know each other a lot better. They hung out with mutual friends and eventually started hanging out on their own. Some of their best memories look back to when they would take long car rides around the scenic areas of New Jersey in Andrew's convertible. They developed a strong bond in a short period of time.

They officially started dating after Andrew asked Gabrielle to officially be his girlfriend in June 2013. The rest of the summer they spent as much time as possible together because they both were trying to forget the fact that Andrew was leaving for Air Force boot camp in October. They had the best summer of their lives. Once Andrew left for boot camp, Gabrielle found it hard to be without him but they both supported each other through it all. They had a long distance relationship for four years! Andrew completed his service and since then they've built an even stronger connection. They both believe that even though long distance was hard, it helped them grow stronger... and the rest is history!
