Our Wedding

Gabrielle and Aidan met in May 2023 in Washington, DC, and from the very beginning it just felt easy. Our first date was at McLellan’s Retreat, and not long after that, we were spending nearly every moment together, making the most of summer in the city and getting to know each other fast. About a year and a half later, we were presented with the opportunity to move to Savannah, Georgia. Taking that leap together felt like the most natural next step, and it’s one we’re so glad we made. Since then, Savannah has become home, and our life together has only grown stronger. Along the way, we’ve bonded over our shared love of travel, fitness, family, friends, and, of course, great food and drinks. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
