Gina & Kyle

Kyle and I were excited to celebrate our four year anniversary this past weekend in his hometown of Norwalk, Ohio. On Saturday morning he led me to the garage and told me to read the note on the front seat and to “Have a great day!”

I looked in my car and there was a GPS and a rose with a note around it which told me I was going to have a scavenger hunt for the day and to follow the destinations in the GPS. Excitedly, I followed the directions to the first location: A spa. I was instructed to open the next hidden note which said to enjoy myself and take pictures of everything. I spent the whole morning at the spa getting a massage, pedicure, manicure, and hair cut.

After getting beautified, I was instructed by note to go to his brother’s house to get dressed and ready in a dress he bought me. I then was told to go to the final destination: His house.

All dressed up, I walked into his sunroom and he was in a matching suit standing under an eight-foot arch he had constructed. He got down on one knee and proposed, only after his wiener dog Regi ran in with painted toe nails, a black flowered bandana, and my ring tied around her neck. I said “Yes!”

David Letterman & Regina Lasko

Letterman & Lasko

A year ago today, David Letterman married his longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko. Their ceremony took place at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana. According to People Magazine, their truck got stuck in the mud on the way to the ceremony.Only a few close friends and their five-year-old son, Harry, were in attendance.

With Letterman spending most of his time in New York and Lasko living at their Montana ranch, their relationship was sure to have its share of hurdles. But just how big those obstacles were became public in October when Letterman admitted to having an affair with an employee.

He apologized on air to his wife and although she has remained quiet on the subject, the couple are still together – if you count being thousands of miles apart “together.”

Here’s to getting through the first year and hopes that in the next year, their marriage stays out of the headlines!
