On the night of our 7-year anniversary, Gabe suggests we walk to our favorite spot in Piedmont Park with our little dachshund, GiGi. As many know, Gabe is the complete opposite of spontaneous, and this was very spontaneous for him. I simply thought he wanted to put a smile on my face by going on a random nighttime adventure. With GiGi in tow, we walk to the big open area in the park and do what we always do: Gabe holds her as I walk almost 25 yards away from them. I turn around, call for GiGi to come, and Gabe releases her on the grass to sprint to me. I pick up GiGi in my arms and notice a sparkle of moonlight reflecting off of her collar. I look closer and realize it’s not her collar; it’s a gorgeous diamond ring. Gabe quickly walks over, gets down on one knee, and asks me to marry him! It was the perfect proposal, and we can’t wait to celebrate our marriage with y’all. GiGi is excited to continue her role as the ring bearer—this time at our wedding ceremony!
