Annabelle, 24, studied politics and sociology, and Gabriel, 25, studied economics, finance, and banking. The two would often meet at the library to study together, but their relationship blossomed into something more.
They tied the knot on May 14, 2016, surrounded by family and friends.

"At the time we met, I had given up hope on this whole love thing," he said. "I thought this idea of having a life partner who would love and respect me unconditionally was only a story only told in movies. But, I was wrong! True love does exist."
There wasn't a dry eye during the ceremony, and the bridesmaids were overcome with emotion.
Gabriel says his wife is usually the emotional one in the relationship. In fact, he says that Annabella had never seen him cry like that before.
