It all began at a birthday gathering at Clearlake, where Giana and Jonathan met through mutual friends. They spent the day laughing, tubing, and soaking up the sunshine — never realizing how important that day would become. Funny enough, they both left thinking they’d never see each other again.

About a week later, those same friends set Giana and Jonathan up on a double date in San Francisco. Both were a little nervous but figured, what was the worst that could happen? That night changed everything — they instantly connected and discovered an undeniable spark, realizing there was something truly special between them.

Their story officially began on October 9th, 2022, when they celebrated the start of their journey together as a couple — a day that will forever hold a special place in their hearts. What began as a spark quickly grew into a deep and lasting love built on laughter, trust, and shared dreams for the future.

The past three years have been a joyful journey for Giana and Jonathan, spent growing closer and sharing life together. They spent much of the first two years in Sonoma while Giana finished school, with Jonathan making regular visits. After graduation, they moved into their first apartment in Concord, where they still live today. Their relationship is built on laughter, adventure, and shared passions — from traveling and discovering new foods (they’re foodies at heart) to simply being themselves with one another. They challenge each other, offer support, tough love when needed, and cherish their friendship at the heart of their relationship. Just weeks before their third anniversary, Jonathan proposed to Giana during a trip to Hawaii. They now look forward to continuing their journey as husband and wife, excited to create a lifetime of memories together.
