Leehan and Newville met at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Trenton, New Jersey, and after three years of dating, Newville proposed on July 18, 2016. In the time leading up to their engagement, Leehan had grown close to young Gage, and her thoughts immediately turned to how to incorporate him into their wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n

Leehan wanted the wedding to be an emotional and meaningful experience for their new family. She decided to recite vows to Gage, and when she shared her idea with Newville, he thought it was a beautiful surprise they could create together. The plan was set in motion, with both hoping for a special reaction from the 4-year-old.<\/p>\n

Despite Gage\u2019s unexpected emotional reaction, the couple says that he typically doesn\u2019t show such intense emotions. However, he does exhibit concern when he hears about \u201csad things.\u201d Gage\u2019s interests include superheroes and Star Wars, with Spider-Man, Batman, and Paw Patrol among his favorites.<\/p>\n

As this special day demonstrated, life\u2019s most priceless and spontaneous moments often come free of charge.<\/p>\n
