Crossword Proposal in a Penthouse Suite? Robby's Sweet and Sneaky Plan
While the wedding was spontaneous the proposal actually had some planning behind it well kind of. Robby confessed she has been wanting to propose basically since day one. But Gabby was always the one tapping the brakes. This time though it was Gabby who brought up the "should we get married?" question in their Vegas penthouse suite which by the way apparently looked like something out of a mafia movie.
Even though it was Gabby's idea Robby still made the proposal special. They do crosswords together every morning it is their thing. So Robby had a friend create a custom crossword puzzle. The clues were normal but the answers spelled out "WILL YOU MARRY ME GABBY". How cute is that? Gabby admits she was totally clueless at first thinking it was just a weird off-brand crossword. It wasn't until the very end that she realized what Robby was up to. Cue the happy tears and a big YES!
