‘The Bachelorette’ Alum Gabby Windey and Robby Hoffman Are Officially Married: ‘So Precious’
Former Bachelorette star Gabby Windey is a married woman! She and her girlfriend, Robby Hoffman, secretly tied the knot in a quick ceremony in Las Vegas in January.
Gabby, 34, and Robby, 35, had just evacuated from the wildfires that ravaged California and ended up in a hotel in Vegas. The hotel was kind enough to put the women in a penthouse suite and Robby even told Cosmopolitan that it looked like a “wedding suite,” which led to the idea of them getting married.
“Gabby turned to me and she went, ‘Should we get married?’ And look: I’ve been proposing since the day I met her,” Robby told the publication in an article published on Wednesday, March 5. “We got to this room and it’s like out of a mafia movie, 12-foot ceilings, a separate bedroom from the living room, that type of hotel. And we were like, ‘Whoa.’ And then Gabby floated getting married.”
The Dancing With the Stars alum chimed in, “It was nice, it being my idea. Robby was literally ready to propose three weeks in and I’m always the one pumping the brakes, but when something feels right, it just feels right. I think it was better for the both of us that it was my idea. She kept checking in like, ’Are you serious?’”
The couple didn’t head to the chapel right away, and Gabby even admitted that she asked Robby if she could actually propose to her, which Robby had no problem with. In fact, the comedian said that marrying Gabby was “her dream come true.”
Robby proposed using a crossword puzzle, something the two have enjoyed doing together in their relationship, and then they began shopping for chapels. The day Gabby went shopping for her wedding dress, Robby ended up finding the chapel where they would exchange vows.
“Our wedding was $799. That included the limousine. That included the photos. That included the minister,” Robby explained.
Gabby said “at first” she wanted to “go full Kourtney Kardashian” before deciding to take a different route.
“We wanted to do our own thing. I went into department stores and the first dress I saw on the mannequin was off-white lace, and I was like, ’This is gonna be it,’” the former reality TV star told the outlet. “It was the only one they had in stock. It was a little tight and made my butt look huge, but it was perfect. Everything just fell into place so naturally. It felt so serendipitous and so precious and so meant to be.”
Robby said she “couldn’t believe how perfect” the entire day was.
“It was the best wedding I’ve ever been to. And by the way, we got the most expensive wedding package they offered — they have one for $99! Have yourself a good night. We got to spend our wedding truly together. We love to be together,” Robby gushed.
Gabby added that they walked down the aisle to Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO,” while a photographer who went by Big Nate snapped pictures of them.
“It was the best. In a weird way, it was giving Bachelor because there were roses everywhere,” Gabby said. “I never envisioned my wedding as a kid or anything, but that’s part of what made this feel so right. Actually being there and feeling it, it was so us.”
