Together we shall rule the galaxy...

A long time ago, in an inter-web galaxy far away... A band boy from Orlando and a fangirl from California crossed paths. A “follow” and auto-message on Twitter began a friendship unlike any other. After years of long-distance friendship, they crossed paths in New York. After spending the night in the Big Apple with some friends, it became clear to see. The best friends, were truly meant to be!

After a busy week of tourist activities and spending time with family in Southern California, Gage insisted that they both take a night drive to the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. After sitting in an hour of traffic, driving around the Griffith, and finally deciding to park the car and Uber up the mountain, they made it! Together they watched the Tesla Coil demonstration and toured the Observatory. As it neared closing time, Gage led Monika up to the roof to stargaze (He knew it’s one of her favorite things to do!) They found a hidden corner on the tallest part and stood together, gazing out over the skyline.. the City of Stars. He began to ask if she knew just exactly what she meant to him. She replied, “yes” but he was not convinced. After beginning to explain, he bent down on one knee and took a small ring box out of his coat pocket and smiling, he asked her, “Will you spend the rest of your life with me? Will you marry me?” She laughed uncontrollably, tears in her eyes as she exclaimed, “Yes!!” And the rest is history...
