Gabe and I were both attending Christian Business Partners in Chino HIlls, Ca. I was new to the networking group and very shy. Slowly I began to make friends and people started to know who I was. Eventually, I was invited to yard house with friends who were meeting Gabe. Secretly they were trying to get us together, because they thought we would be perfect for each other. We sat together and discovered that our friends were right. We have been inseparable ever since...

It was Memorial Day weekend and we were having a bbq at the house in Corona. Gabe specifically asked for certain people to attend the bbq. People were swimming, Gabe was bbqing and he was behaving extremely nervous. At one point he asked me to get everyone together to pray before we ate (which I thought was strange, because the food wasn't ready). Kerry would not get out of the pool, Derek was leaving and finally Gabe started yelling to get everyone together for the prayer. Eventually we got everyone together and I began to lead the prayer and Gabe jumped in and said, "I wanted to thank everyone for being here today, Leonora wanted to be surrounded by her closest family and friends." Gabe then got down on his knee with three cracker jack boxes sealed with Gorilla glue. After a few minutes of opening those cracker jack boxed, I found the prize, the RING. Gabriel said "Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" I thought he was joking at first but of coarse I said "Yes"! Happiest day with my love.
