Gabrielle and Joseph's story is one of timing, faith, and the unshakable belief that God’s plan is always perfect, even when we can’t see it in the moment.

It all started at Decatur High School, where Joseph was a senior, and Gabrielle was just a freshman. They had no idea then, but that was the first chapter of a story God was quietly writing. Their paths crossed again at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), though, as Gabrielle laughs, she doesn’t exactly remember the encounter!

Fast forward to the night before Christmas Eve in 2021, in their hometown of Decatur, Alabama. At a local bar on the Tennessee River, it was there that they truly connected for the first time.

In the 3 and 1/2 years since that night, Gabrielle and Joseph have experienced more than many do in a lifetime. Through long distance, ups and downs, travels, adventures, and challenges, their love has deepened, anchored by faith and the belief that they are walking out the story God has written for them.

They currently call Charlotte, North Carolina, home, and are beyond excited to begin this next chapter of their lives as one!

As they step into this new season of life, they are filled with gratitude for how far they’ve come and excitement for the future ahead. Their faith in God, their love for each other, and their shared dreams will guide them as they continue to explore the world, hand in hand, with Him leading the way.

Together, they are ready to say “I do” and embark on the greatest adventure of all.
