Thoma Thought the Proposal Was a Joke

After dating for some time, People shared their engagement announcement on April 30, 2017. However, Gustin's proposal to LA Thoma didn't exactly go as the actor had envisioned.

Initially, Gustin had planned a grand romantic gesture in Costa Rica, where the "Glee" star was filming. He thought it was the perfect location and wanted to take advantage of its romantic atmosphere. However, when production plans changed, his plans were thwarted.

A little while after, Gustin summed up all his courage after a shared workout session on the beach and spontaneously popped the question. LA Thoma was caught so off-guard that she laughed at him, convinced he was joking.

Eventually, she said yes to the love of her life. The lovers shared the good news with the world on Instagram with a photo in which they happily embraced each other, with LA Thoma flaunting her ring.

The image spoke volumes as it needed no caption and garnered a comment section full of excited and congratulatory remarks.

Thoma and Gustin Got Married in a Beautiful Ceremony

After being engaged for over a year, Gustin and LA Thoma tied the knot at the end of 2018. However, before officially marrying, the couple had to go through traditional Kazadan wedding rites, where a shaman and medicine man would bless their union.

Gustin shared that they needed to honor his wife's Kadazan ancestry through the tradition. LA Thoma also explained that her Kadazan roots spring from her maternal side. After the symbolic ceremony, she revealed how she felt "spiritually married" to Gustin.

All that was left was their white wedding. Moreover, there were rumors of LA Thoma and her husband secretly marrying at their favorite world-stop, Sabbah, Malaysia.

However, the couple candidly cleared the gossip through a December 2017 Instagram post where he captioned:

"It was incorrectly reported, without our permission, that LA and I had a private wedding while we were here, but that's not quite the truth. While we did have a beautiful, symbolic Kadazan ceremony to honor LA's ancestors, we still won't tie the knot until next year."

A year later, on December 15, their union was official. Gustin's representative disclosed it was a beautiful and unforgettable ceremony, where their loved ones and close colleagues surrounded the couple. The ceremony was held in Los Angeles at the 1920s Valentine DTLA events venue.

People with big names were also in attendance, including Gustin's "The Flash" and "Supergirl" co-star Melissa Benoist, Daveed Diggs, Ryan Phillips, Ben Ross, Jared Loftin, and more. The wedding featured a photobooth session in which guests would get a chance to be pictured with the then-newlyweds.
