Nick Doyle and Gabi Angelini are a couple who love each other deeply. They hate spending any time apart. Luckily, Doyle’s mom captured how they react when they get reunited.

Doyle and Angelini are in many ways the perfect couple. They’ve been dating since May 2019, when they met in Detroit, Michigan.

They were both in attendance at the National Down Syndrome Society convention when their paths first crossed. They felt an instant connection with one another.

Both of them are proactive in empowering and working with others with disabilities.

Angelini is an entrepreneur who has employed many disabled people. Doyle performs in an improv comedy group which consists entirely of people with Down Syndrome.

Long before the conference ended, everyone could tell that Doyle and Angelini would become a loving, dedicated couple.

Angelini’s mom even described the two as inseparable.

However, there was a problem. Angelini and Doyle lived in completely different areas of the country.

Doyle lived in Canton, Ohio and Angelini lived in Raleigh, North Carolina. For a while, at least, the two would have to be long-distance.

And then were was another hitch.

When the two had said goodbye and boarded their separate planes, Doyle realized he’d forgotten something vitally important. He hadn’t asked for Gabi’s phone number.

Luckily, we live in an age where forgetting to get someone’s number doesn’t mean losing contact with them forever. Doyle took to Facebook and quickly found Angelini.

Pretty soon, Doyle and Angelini were back in contact.

Every day, they would send each other messages and video calls. They both discovered that their spark was still strong, even when they weren’t in person. But they were desperate to meet up again in real life, just like any loving couple who spend time apart.

However, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania there was another Down Syndrome conference coming up.

Angelini and Doyle were both keen to attend. Not only could they raise awareness of what they were doing for their community, but they’d get to see each other once more!

So Doyle and Angelini both met each other in Pittsburgh and had an amazing three days.

Angelini’s mom said that the two spent every single second of the conference with one another. But at the end, it was so difficult for these two young people to say goodbye. They just wanted to spend their lives together.

When Angelini got back home, she felt a sadness unlike anything she’d ever known before.

Spending time apart from Doyle was just too much for her. At one time, she even broke down into tears when she was telling her mom how much she missed Doyle.

That was when Mary, Angelini’s mom, decided to do something about the situation.

She could tell that Doyle and her daughter were a perfect match. Like any mother, she just wanted her daughter to be happy. So she got into contact with Doyle’s mom to see if the two could work out something for their children.

In no time at all, the moms had arranged a surprise reunion for their kids.

Angelini thought that she was headed to a conference in Ohio. Doyle believed that a friend of his was landing at the airport.

So even though they didn’t know it, Angelini and Doyle were in the same place at the same time.

All they had to do was wait a short while and they would realize what their moms had done.

Doyle’s mom hit record when Angelini was walking out of the airport. She was able to capture the entire heartwarming reunion between her son and her girlfriend.
