I'm not a fan of long engagements. I basically have your wedding planned in my head in like, the first few months, if that. So when Gabrielle told me that her engagement would be almost 2 1/2 years long, I already liked her so I was in. The only way to get through it was to make timeline jokes and keep it moving. The hidden gift in their long engagement was my relationship with Gabrielle. She's like the little sister that I never had and I'm so grateful.
In 2 1/2 years, I was able to see how Johnathan and Gabrielle worked as a couple, which was beautiful. Gabrielle would have an idea, or I'd have one, and she'd present it to Johnathan and the answer would always be yes. Well, there would be questions first but in the end, the answer would be yes. The ONLY time he said no was when it came to doing a first look. He was so opposed to it that even I was worried that I wouldn't be able to convince him, which I can ALWAYS convince a couple to do a first look. Thank goodness they listened to me...you'll see from their photos how magical it really was. Get comfortable because as usual, Elle Danielle shot her life away!
