The entire week leading up to the proposal, Gabby and her Charlotte Hornets coworkers had been planning an "End of the Season Celebration" to be held at Gabby & Chrys' house. For the other 41 home games, Gabby was only required to stay until halftime or until her game-day responsibilities were finished. This game was different. Her boss told her he needed her to stay until the end of the game to help with post-game pictures. So as she did every weekend game, Gabby left for work, dropped off her dog at her coworker's, then carpooled to work. Everything seemed normal at work. Normal game, normal game-day responsibilities & routines. As Gabby and her intern prepared to meet her boss down on the court she received a text message, "No worries, we're all good. See you Monday." Gabby walked into the house and was greeted by her line sister & God-sister and silver balloons that said "WILL." Instantly, it hit Gabby what was awaiting her upstairs, or so she thought. She walked up the stairs, lined with the letters "YOU" and burst into tears. As she got closer to the top of the stairs, she heard "$tonez," the song Chrys wrote featuring AE about their relationship and journey that was on his debut project as a recording artist. As she reached the top of the steps, she was not only greeted by a house full of friends and family, but AE singing "$tonez" in the living room. Her eyes were fixated on Chrystopher- standing in front of an illuminated "MARRY ME" marquee sign with rose petals in a heart on the hardwood. In tears and shaking, she walked towards him and threw her hands around him. A hush came across the room. The music slowly died down. And Chrystopher spoke to Gabrielle just reflecting on their 2.5 year relationship and journey, and then down on one knee Chrystopher took Gabby’s hand and asked her to marry him. Still in her work clothes, she crouched down to hug him and said yes!
