What can we say....we met the good old fashion way....at our neighborhood dive bar! As corny as this sounds... it was love at first sight! And the rest is history!
Who knew Friday the 13th could be so lucky and special? My best friend, Carol, was visiting us and it was our last night together before she flew back to Texas. Also my other best friend, Andre, came over to join us out. Lucas insisted we go to Cafe Bar Europa. As we were walking up to it, I heard the jazz music playing and thought it wasn't lively enough for us and tried to talk them into going somewhere else. However, we went inside anyway and sat down with a round of drinks. Then Lucas stands up, raises his glass, and says I'd like to propose a toast. My thought was "What the heck is he doing?" He says I'd like to propose a toast to Gayla....then he got down on 1 knee and asks me to marry him!! I was completely shocked!! I didn't say yes until the ring was completely on my finger haha. Then I said YES, YES, YES! We hugged and kissed and when the shock stopped, I started crying with tears of joy! It meant the world to me that Lucas involved my 2 best friends, Carol and Andre, to share our special moment. So much love that night that I will never forget!
