Welcome to our love story

We met at Xymogen in 2012. We always saw each other around the building but didn't think much of it. I always thought that Luis had a handsome smile. Then one day we both ended up at the House of Blues in Downtown Disney with some mutual friends. There were plenty of laughs, fun, and dancing. After that night, we talked every day for a week and then one night Luis asked me out on a date. That was the start of a beautiful friendship and love. After a couple of weeks, he introduced me to his two beautiful daughters, Madalynn & Jazlynn. From that day on, I fell in love with the girls. The four of us have been inseparable ever since. Throughout the rest of our dating years, our relationship only got stronger as we realized that we had finally found each other's soulmate.

It was Christmas day. We were getting ready to have a dinner party for all of our closest family and friends at our house that night. Our usual Christmas tradition is having dinner and playing games. This Christmas, we played the game "White Elephant." Everyone chooses a present and opens it in front of the family. Shockingly, I was in last place and only the biggest present was left. I found that very odd. As I opened it, I thought it was a prank because it was a box inside of a box. When I opened the last box inside, I found rose petals and pictures of Luis and I at the surface along with a letter. Even more confused than ever, Luis made me read the letter out loud. I was so nervous, I could feel myself blushing and everyone's eyes on me. After reading the letter, I looked up to see Luis kneeling down on one knee with a ring in his hand. His next words were "Gabie, Will you marry me?" Of course I said....YES!!!! It was an amazing moment for the both of us and our families. It will forever be my one of our favorite Christmas memories!!!<3 I am beyond excited to spend the rest of my life with my best friend!
