The couple said their vows in a romantic ceremony in Kauai, Hawaii. Their love story stretches back a full fifteen years. Congratulations are pouring in, and honestly, this one deserves every bit of it.
A Love Story That Started in High School
Talk about a slow burn done right. Rory and Alicia met as teenagers in Bakersfield, California. He was 16, and she was 15, attending different high schools. One great conversation was all it took. Rory reportedly thought, “Wow, this girl is really cool.”
Then he moved fast. After knowing Alicia for just one week, he asked her to be his girlfriend. She said yes, and the rest is history. Fifteen years later, that teenage gamble has paid off spectacularly.

The road to the altar had its own milestones too. Rory proposed at sunset on a Maui beach in October 2022. Alicia shrieked her joy online, declaring herself the “future Mrs. Rory Gibson.” In late June, Rory teased the big day with a sweet “Last week as fiancés” story.

The bride wasted no time making it Instagram official. Alicia posted a photo of the couple’s hands showing off their new rings. Her caption said it all: “Ahhh, Officially Mrs. Gibson.” She even set the celebration video to Natalie Cole’s “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love).”
Could there be a more fitting song choice? After a decade and a half together, everlasting feels exactly right. The newlyweds are clearly floating, and fans are floating right along with them.
