Their Love Story

The love story of GabriĂ«l and Grethe is a tale of persistence, serendipity, and undeniable chemistry.  After months of relentless pursuit, GabriĂ«l found himself at a crossroad, needing to step back permanently. Little did he know, God had His own plans. Two months later, as the sun rose, Grethe stood at his doorstep, armed with a slice of pizza and a playful question: “Will you be my boyfriend, or is this too cheesy?”.  In that moment, amidst laughter and shared affection, the realization dawned that their bond was too strong to ignore. With hearts full of love and excitement, they embarked on a new journey together. Witness their love story unfold as they celebrate their union and the beginning of a lifetime together.
