Jess and Gabriel Conte Are Proof Godly Relationships Are Possible And True Love Does Exist

Jess and Gabriel's story is so inspiring because they aren't just any YouTube couple. They're a Christian couple, and you can really see that they make their faith the foundation of their relationship, and they take it seriously. I've watched their videos for years, and it was so magical to hear their story.

You can watch the wedding video here. Keep a box of tissues. You'll need them.

This is their story.

They lived in completely different countries -- Jess from Australia and Gabriel from America. They met on Instagram and hearing them tell stories about the conversations they had as friends before beginning a relationship is the cutest. You can watch the video of them reading their old DMs here. Jess knew about him through a mutual friend, and when she found out that he was a Christian, she followed him on Instagram. She sent him a DM asking what church he went to since she was going on a 3-week vacation in America, and after talking for a few weeks, they found a day to go to Gabriel's church, Hillsong LA. I think it's sweet that their first date was at church, and they had lunch after. When Jess went home from their date, she told her parents that she knew that Gabriel is the one she wanted to marry because he literally checked off every box off of her list about her ideal guy.

The tough part of their relationship was that it was long-distance. It was tough for both of them to find time to spend together in person, with it ending with them saying goodbye to each other. After dating for a year, they got married, and their vows were so beautiful and genuine. When they wrote each other letters before the wedding, Jess wrote, "After all of the goodbyes, we get to go home together forever." Gabriel crying while reading the letter portrays how excited and emotional they both were to spend their lives together, and it makes me tear up seeing him cry when he first sees Jess walking down the aisle.

Now, they've been married for two years, and they have since gotten a dog named Milo and have two homes in California and Boca Raton, Florida. Their YouTube videos show that their love is stronger than ever, and they plan to have children in the next few years.



With about 3 million subscribers to date, Jess and Gabriel make it clear that while they love their subscribers, they won't focus on numbers to define them. They choose to trust God and His plan and calling for them as they grow in faith and love.

They are living proof that the best relationship you will ever have is with a man who loves God as much as you do and uplifts you in faith.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
