How We Met

Gabriel and Rachel first met during their time at University of Hartford. They became fast friends while being on staff together as RA's in the upperclassmen dorms. Continuing to stay in touch for years to follow while Rachel lived in Memphis and Gabriel in NYC, they were reunited in 2018 when Rachel moved back for grad school. The following year, Rachel took a chance and asked Gabriel on a date and the two have been together since!
