Gaby is Chessie’s little sister and from the moment she was born Chessie took over the “boss sister” role. Growing up, Chessie made sure Gaby knew how to spell the word “THE” and they spent endless hours playing dress up together. Chessie was always the princess and Gaby some kind of mythical creature. Chessie pulled all the stops for her little sisters wedding back in 2016 as maid of honor so Gaby is very excited to return the “honor” for Chessie and CJ’s big day!
