Born Without Limbs - Now I'm Marrying My Dream Man | LOVE DON'T JUDGE

this is 22 year old gabe he fell in love with 27 year old adam i like to say i run the mouth and he runs the limbs growing up with no arms and legs meant that gabe's road to love was a tricky one it was more or less guys being curious about what it would be like to be with a person without arms and legs not only that but his mormon upbringing also provided plenty of obstacles in his search for love growing up mormon it just was a huge no-no to being gabe it weighed heavy on me for a lot of years i felt like i was constantly wearing a mask but eventually the roadblocks came down and gabe and adam found one another and they're now planning a wedding as unique as gabe himself i've always known that i did not want to wear a classic wedding look stop no i love i love i love oh my goodness so i think the first time i knew that i was gay was probably the second grade this new kid came up and i was like oh he's kind of cute but then i was like wait boys shouldn't think that other boys are cute gabe was adopted from brazil as a baby by a mormon family in utah i was born with hand heart syndrome it ended up leaving me without arms or legs growing up mormon and being gay was really really hard because my dad was really big in the lds church as a seminary teacher and it just was a huge no-no to being gay i would sneak out to go on dates and you're probably thinking how does a kid without arms and legs sneak out to go on dates well it's really not that hard not being able to be open about his sexuality when he was younger also led gabe to struggle finding a boyfriend to treat him the way he wanted my date that i'd go on back in those days it was more or less guys being curious about what it would be like to be with a person without arms and legs sometimes they were actually really nice guys but there were a lot of other times where they would try and do something that was definitely not what i wanted and so left me a little damaged i was closet in that that was my senior year night of graduation being gay my parents knew but there were lots of times where my parents would have conversations with me advising me not to come out because they didn't want it to ruin my reputation with being a young motivational speaker and also being a member of the church it weighed heavy on me for a lot of years because i felt like i was constantly wearing a mask when i turned 19 i told my parents that i was going to come out publicly and that from that point on they either needed to support me or our relationship wasn't going to continue that kind of opened up dialogue between my parents and i and ever since that point it's really helped our relationship and yeah with his parents support gabe got out on the dating scene and adam came into his life okay there we go well that's how we normally pick him up it's not keeping weird it actually made me nervous picking up picking him up like that the first couple of times when we first started dating i told him that he could do that and he's like no no that's going to hurt you i'm not doing that i'm not okay with that and i was like just wait you'll want to do it he's super independent he'll just try something and then ask for help and i just assume he can do it until he tells me he needs help we met on tinder actually he was the first face that popped up and it's one of those moments where you're like this is someone i'm supposed to meet this is someone important in my life it actually took me a few minutes to realize that he didn't have any arms or legs like it was just wasn't the first thing i saw about him first thing i saw was a smile so my first date with gabe was really really exciting it was something i'd been looking forward to for a long time it was really just i guess natural and smooth and everything just felt right we ended up going back to drop him off at the end of the date and he asked me when he was going to see me again and i said tomorrow duh and it's been every day since we've been together once together the pair knew there was only one direction their relationship was headed for months and months i kept begging adam to propose because i just knew that he was the one and that i wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and he'd always tell me it's coming the proposal itself it was really sweet it was like a lot more simple in the moment than i thought it was going to be but i liked that you know like everyone's expecting big huge gigantic fireworks but those just happen on the inside instead of on the outside so it was just really special something simple i cried when he proposed yeah yeah we have one one of the pictures i don't think it's up here on the wall somewhere but one of the pictures he's like it's just like we have that one right there just looking like he's about to just bust in half it was so funny but also really sweet so i'm going to call the wedding designer in just a second hi hi hi hi it's nice to finally see you adam's not going to stay here for too long he's going to run out so he doesn't hear any of the details cool i'll leave it's nice to meet you let me know if it's safe to talk about it yeah you're good he's in the other room so i've always known that i did not want to wear a classic suit and tie for my wedding look i wanted to do something that was going to turn heads [Music] oh my goodness will you send me a picture of that too after oh it looks so good i'm so excited i've always had my dream wedding picked out from the time i was like 13. when it comes to wedding planning i don't really have a whole lot that i wanted and so we're just kind of letting gabe take the take the reins i think the dynamic of adam and i's relationship is kind of funny because i like to say i run the mouth and he runs the limbs and that's what keeps us going because i'm really feisty for me to have a guy who loves me unconditionally and doesn't hold back and just holds me accountable and loves me the way that i should be and treats me the way that i deserve there's a lot of stuff that comes out of his mouth that surprises and every single one of them i love because it's like a echo of what i'm thinking it's just perfect that's when i knew that this is the one you
