Since I haven't ever posted our story of how we met and have been prompted to do it by several, here you go. Gabriel and I met late in the year 2008. I became friends with his friends and they invited me over for dinner or family parties. I got to know Gabriel through these activities and we became friends. On February 13th we had our first date. We went to see "Taken". After that we dated exclusively and it didn't take long to realize that this was a long term thing. We got engaged in April 2009.
One of our first dates with the girls. We went sledding.
The Girls were darling and so photogenic!
The night Gabriel asked me to marry him we were going to a friends house for a dance party. As we walked in to their Street of Dreams type home I noticed their dining room was set up for a dinner. There were roses, candles, place setting for two people. I thought, "Huh, that's odd that they keep their dining room staged" Then Gabriel walked me in that room and told me this was for us! I, of course, said yes. Who could turn down a proposal over sushi?
What follows is history,
After the sushi and proposal we headed to the ballroom to join our family and friends in the dance party.
Next Post: Engagement period.
