For Gabby, the day held a mix of emotions – excitement and a touch of nervousness. The culmination of more than two years of meticulous planning led to this moment, and her heart fluttered with anticipation. The Traverse City cottage, with its weathered charm, became the stage for a story that would become a cherished chapter in the family’s legacy.
