Gabby and Efrain met at a christmas party in 2010. They both took notice of eachother and eventually Efrain built up the courage to speak to Gabby. Efrain walked up to her and invited Gabby to dance with him, but she politely declined him. The reason was that she had never danced before! Efrain offered Gabby some of his dance lessons. By the end of the night, Gabby learned how to dance bachata. Immediately they knew they had to see eachother again, so they exchanged numbers and went great lengths for their love. After a long pregnancy, we welcomed our beautiful daughter Allyson Lilly Padilla on October 16, 2012. On July 8, 2018, Efrain, Lilly and Gabby were exploring the mountains of Colorado. While sitting down on the mountain ledge they gazed out into the dark starry night sky. As they were leaving, Efrain got down on one knee and asked Gabby to look back at him. Efrain asked the big question and Gabby said “Omg, about time!”
