How did Tulsi Gabbard meet her husband Abraham Williams?
In 2012, Williams was a volunteer on Gabbard’s campaign for a seat in the House of Representatives. Per Newsweek, he was a freelance photographer and took many of the well-known pictures of her during that period. Gabbard told The New York Times that, a year and a half later, a mutual friend threw a birthday party for her – where Williams asked her out. “It was the first time that we had a chance to kick back, relax and really talk on a personal level,” Gabbard told the publication.
The epic proposal
The couple both love water sports and Gabbard has said that the more time they spent together, the more they realised what they had in common. In fact, their mutual love of the ocean inspired Williams’ proposal, with the photographer popping the question while surfing. “He paddled over, pulled out a double-tethered contraption attached to a gold duct-tape-covered flotation device with a beautiful ring attached, and said, ‘I have a question for you: Will you marry me?’” Gabbard told The New York Times.
