Lance Pereira and Gianna Holt-DeStefano met July 3rd, 2020, just after they had graduated high school. They met at a get together with friends that Lance was hosting at his vacation home in North Conway, New Hampshire. It was a beautiful summer evening and the prelude to the Fourth of July. Lance had his eye on Gigi and planned that night to sweep her off her feet. He, a true romantic, knew even before they met, that she was very special. When they finally did meet, they looked each other in the eyes and they both knew it was forever. They immediately gave each other a hug and felt like they had known each other for years. As they talked more they found they had a lot in common. That night the fireworks went off both literally and emotionally. The night they met marked the beginning of their forever love.
Lance Pereira proposed to Gianna Holt-DeStefano in Forsyth Park, Savannah Georgia on July 3, 2021. He had Gigi get all dressed up for an anniversary photoshoot in Forsyth Park, and during the photoshoot he had Gigi looking at the fountain in the center of the park and as she turned around, Lance was down on one knee asking Gigi to make him the happiest man in the world. She said yes!
