Although both were hesitant at first and not looking for something serious, a mutual friend said &#8220;I just want you to meet as friends. I am not asking you to marry the guy!&#8221; Little did she know their meeting would lead to a connection lasting a lifetime! Years later, the two along with their precious puppies started a fashion line, and will soon have the wedding of their dreams.\u00a0&nbsp;#ftg-2121 .tile .icon { color:#ffffff; }#ftg-2121 .ftg-items .loading-bar i { background:#fff; }#ftg-2121 .ftg-items .loading-bar { background:#fff; }#ftg-2121 .tile .icon { font-size:12px; }#ftg-2121 .tile .icon { margin: -6px 0 0 -6px; }#ftg-2121 .tile .caption-block .text-wrapper span.text { font-size:12px; }#ftg-2121 .tile .caption-block .text-wrapper span.title { font-size:14px; }#ftg-2121 .tile { background-color: transparent; }#ftg-2121 .tile .caption-block .text-wrapper span.text { color: #ffffff; }#ftg-2121 .tile .caption-block .text-wrapper span.title { color: #ffffff; }#ftg-2121 .tile .ftg-social a { color: #ffffff; }#ftg-2121 .tile .caption-block { transition-timing-function:linear; }#ftg-2121 .tile .caption-block { transition-duration:0.25s; }#ftg-2121 .tile .tile-inner:before { background-color: #000000; }#ftg-2121 .tile .tile-inner:before { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); }#ftg-2121 .tile.ftg-preload { transform: scaleY(1) scaleX(1) translate(0px,0px) rotateX(0deg) rotateY(0deg); }#ftg-2121 .tile.ftg-preload { transition: all ease-out 0.5s, opacity linear 0.5s; }#ftg-2121 .tile img.item { transition-duration: 0.25s; }jQuery('#ftg-2121 img.item').removeAttr('src');jQuery(document).ready(function () {setTimeout(function () {jQuery('#ftg-2121').finalTilesGallery({minTileWidth: 250,margin: 10,loadMethod: 'sequential',nonce: '9107d20fae',galleryId: '21',setupFilters: true,layout: 'final',debug: false,gridSize: 25,disableGridSizeBelow: 800,allowEnlargement: true,imageSizeFactor: [ [4000, 0.9],[1024, 0.8],[768, 0.7],[640, 0.6],[320, 0.5]],selectedFilter: 'n-a'});jQuery(function () {(function () {var rel = '';jQuery('#ftg-2121 .ftg-lightbox').click(function (e) {rel = jQuery(this).attr('rel');jQuery('#ftg-2121 .ftg-current').removeClass('ftg-current');jQuery('#ftg-2121 [rel=\"'+rel+'\"]').addClass('ftg-current');});})();jQuery('#ftg-2121 .tile a.ftg-lightbox').prettyPhoto({});});}, 0);});&nbsp;THE PROPOSALMarlon proposed to Lesly in San Francisco at the Japanese Tea Garden on a gorgeous day. Although Marlon planned on proposing at the penguin exhibit at Golden State Park, he felt there were too many distractions. So, they took a stroll all the way to the Japanese Tea Garden, where they discussed the penguin exhibit. Marlon started the proposal by saying during a penguin&#8217;s mating ritual, a stone is presented to the penguin they want to spend their life with. He told Lesly\u00a0he got something from the exhibit&#8217;s gift shop and gave him\u00a0a small box. When Lesly opened the box, a platinum ring with an eternity row of black diamonds and\u00a0two white diamonds in the center shined up at him. Marlon announced Lesly was his penguin and then proposed. As Lesly&#8217;s dad always quoted in Spanish, &#8220;How beautiful life is to live it for eternity&#8230;with you.&#8221;&nbsp;VENDORSPhotography: Angelica Criscuolo Photography&nbsp;"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Brooklyn Chic Gay Engagement","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/brooklyn-gay-engagement\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
