The couple first met -- and survived an encounter with a mountain lion together -- in Big Sur, California during an &amp;quot;eco retreat.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I hear, totally serious, two big breaths, and six feet above me, I see the very slight glint of the eyes of a huge [mountain lion] and I literally proceed to do what I had just read in the instructions,&amp;quot; Lucas told Leno. &amp;quot;And I started screaming and yelling and literally being as crazy as I could be, it padded off and just slowly went away and I worked my way into the trailer and I got in and I decided at that moment that this woman was the woman for me.&amp;quot;\r\nThe couple tied the knot on March 15."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
