It all started thanks to our amazing friend Mark Perea. Giancarlo was hanging out with Mark one day just relaxing. Giancarlo was scrolling through Facebook and came across my page. Giancarlo asked Mark who I was. Mark told him that I was his cool, awesome, amazing friend. ;) I guess he got the hit Giancarlo was interested. Mark jumped at the opportunity and asked if he was interested. Gian said yes and then all hell broke loose on socail media. First, I get a text of a photo of Giancarlo sitting on a couch with "Do you think he's cute?" I asked why, but answered with a "Yes", I mean look at him. Who wouldn't like a man in Buddy Holly Ray Bans and a pomp. SWOON Anyway... After that I get a notification on Facebook that says: "Giancarlo meet Tiffany. Tiffany meet Giancarlo. Mark the match maker in the house!"

We finally meet up after talking for a while through text and a few phone calls. I tell him about a place in Riverside called Molinos Cafe, it was the half way point for us. Giancarlo was living in the OC and I was in Beaumont. Pretty far away from each other but it didn't matter. It just felt right. This was during Nov and the Mission Inn was decorated for the lights festival. The most memorable part of the date is when Giancarlo went to the restroom. I was looking around the antique shop waiting for him to get out, I see him leave the bathroom with his thumb rapped in a grip of toilet paper. I rush over and ask what happened and he said the lock on the door attacked him. I had him remove the paper so I can see the damage of this attack... Man was he bleeding! I told him he needed to clean the cut because this place is from the 1930's and we don't know if they clean the restroom that well. I grabbed his other hand and lead him to my car to get my emergency kit. I remember cleaning it and him giving me a look that gave me butterflies. I just didn't want it to get infected! Cleaned up and bandaged we go back out to enjoyed the Light festival. We enjoyed it so much we didn't go home until 9 or 10pm. We met there at 10am.

We get invited to go to Vegas by Mark. This trip I saw how IMPORTANT coffee really is to this man. I saw how he likes to scream "VEGAS" at the top of his lungs when he's feeling good I saw how sweet he really was I saw how much I loved being around him I noticed how he had eyes only for me

We woke up early July 6, 2019 to have a beach day to ourselves. Giancarlo takes me to breakfast at Molino's Cafe. After we head out to Newport beach to enjoy our overcast day at the beach. Life is good, weather clears up, both giving each other goo goo eyes like we always do. We leave the beach and Giancarlo is on a mission to get parking for Crystal Cove. We finally get a parking and me make our way to the shore. Giancarlo sets up a selfie stick and puts up a tri-pod. Didn't think anything of it until he was getting fidgety with the tri-pod. We take a few photos and then he says " I can't stand it anymore!" He got down on one knee and pulled out my beautiful dream ring! I of course said yes and ugly cried! (We have that on camera too.) I can't think of anything better than to spend the rest of my life with Giancarlo. I'm always laughing, always getting hugs, kisses, and being told he loves me and thinks I'm beautiful. Till death do us part!
