“We fought all the first night and the next night. Is it weird that I liked back and forth banter? Honestly, I think that’s what sparked the connection, that and some good old friend encouragement. Before we knew it, we’d be meeting each other’s families for Christmas!
Paige said she thought Straka would propose to her while on vacation in Mexico in December 2020. The proposal fell through, so Paige let her guard down. Paige said that Straka asked her to marry him on a typical Friday at Gianmarco’s Wine Bar. Paige said:
“He says ‘just come here…’ and that was the first time I thought, ‘Hmmmm.’ I reach out and he takes my hands in his, shaking a little, and kneels. ‘This has been a long time coming, Paige. Will you marry me?’ I’m still teary-eyed.”
Unbeknownst to Paige, the couple’s friends and family knew about the proposal. Straka had rented the restaurant for her loved ones to celebrate the milestone. “The private after dinner party was the one for us!” Paige said. “The entire Gianmarco staff was there, and we even have a super special video of the proposal. Our family and friends enjoyed a meal together and we were able to soak in all the love and excitement.”
