The love story of Ramona and Greg’s began on the day they met. The location was Precita Park in Bernal Heights, San Francisco. The date was Tuesday, November 6, 2018. As usual, there was a crowd of people as the park is a big social scene for the dogs and their human owners. For Greg, out of nowhere, this beautiful woman appears. The very first moment he saw her. He’ll never forget it. She appeared, dressed in jeans and knee-high boots. With her cute little white pug running around by her side. It was her style, a certain je ne sais quoi about her...it was an indefinable, elusive, and appealing quality that cannot be adequately described or expressed. This is what stood out. There was a jump and bounce in her stride that drew him in, the way she sashayed across the lawn with such cuteness and confidence. Joie de vivre (joy of life) surrounded her. It truly was a sight to behold. She was someone special, he could just tell. For Ramona, the experience was similar. Here comes this good-looking guy joining a conversation with her friend. He was kind, polite, and well-educated...and he was Italian. She liked that. She had just been to Italy the month before and had fallen in love with Italian culture and its people. He had quickly caught her eye. Just as she had quickly caught his. Make no mistake about it. The scene was set. The stars were lit. Destiny surrounded the air. At that time neither of them were, shall we say, on the lookout for anything or anyone new in their lives. But the instant they started chatting each had become mesmerized. Somehow the subject of Ramona’s dog Maia’s birthday came up. It must have been fate. She told him it was July 11. The same birthday as Greg’s. This was their first connection. So we have none other than little Maia to thank for that. They stopped chatting. He started gathering up his boys Alek and Fernet getting ready to return home. But there was something inside that stopped him. A voice inside said...wait a minute, you need to not leave without something more. You need to not let this one go. If you do, this may be something you will regret for the rest of your life. So, he did not leave yet. Somehow, the subject of a mutual birthday celebration for him and Maia came up. Which was a bit silly, since it was November and still a far way off from July. Nonetheless, they both liked the idea and jumped at the chance for a second meeting. They realized they had not exchanged names yet. He told her his name was Greg. She told him her name was Ramona. He thought it was a little too forward or impolite to be asking for her number. So he offered her his phone number. She ended up offering her number anyway. It has been Ramona’s kindness, cleverness, humility, and spontaneous and contagious ability to laugh, those qualities that attract Greg to her. It has been Greg’s kindness, politeness, spontaneity, smartness, and ability to make her laugh, those qualities that attract Ramona to him. So there we are. The rest is history. We are so looking forward to starting this new chapter together, and can’t wait to celebrate with all of our favorite people.
La historia de amor de Ramona y Greg comenzó el día que se conocieron. Fue en Precita Park en Bernal Heights, Como de costumbre, había una multitud de gente ya que el parque es un gran escenario social para los perros y sus dueños. Entonces, de la nada, apareció ella, Greg quedo impresionado desde el primer momento en que la vio. Ahi estaba esta hermosa mujer que apareció, vestida con jeans y botas hasta la rodilla. Con su pequeña y linda pug corriendo a su lado. Su presencia no pasó inadvertida, había algo en ella difícil de describir que llamo de inmediato la atención de Greg. Lo atrajo La manera en que caminaba por el césped con tanta ternura y confianza. La rodeaba la alegría de vivir. Realmente fue un espectáculo para la vista. Se podía decir que ella era alguien especial. Para Ramona, la experiencia fue similar. Aquí viene este hombre guapo que se une a una conversación que ella estaba teniendo con su amiga. Era amable, cortez , espontáneo e inteligente ... y además Italiano. A ella le gustó eso. Había estado en Italia el mes anterior y se había enamorado de la cultura italiana y su gente. Rápidamente llamó su atención. Justo como ella había atrapado rápidamente la atención de Greg. No fue por error, tampoco coincidencia, el destino había preparado este encuentro de Ramona y Greg. En ese momento ninguno de los dos estaba, en busca de nada ni de nadie nuevo en su vida. Pero en el instante en que comenzaron a platicar, ambos quedaron impresionados. De alguna manera surgió el tema del cumpleaños de Maia, la perra de Ramona. Debe haber sido el destino. Ella le dijo que era el 11 de julio. El mismo cumpleaños que el de Greg. Esta fue su primera conexión. Así que no tenemos nada más que a la pequeña Maia para agradecer por eso. Dejaron de platicar . Greg comenzó a llamar a sus perros Alek y Fernet, preparándose para subir la colina para regresar a casa. Pero hubo algo que lo detuvo. Una voz en su interior le dijo... espera un momento, no puedes irte sin nada. No debes dejarla ir, si lo haces, esto puede ser algo de lo que se arrepientas por el resto de su vida. Entonces, él no se fue todavía. De alguna manera, surgió el tema de una celebración mutua de cumpleaños para él y Maia. Lo cual fue un poco tonto, ya que era noviembre y todavía faltaba mucho par el mes de julio. No obstante, a ambos les gustó la idea y aprovecharon la oportunidad de una segunda reunión. Se dieron cuenta de que aún no habían intercambiado nombres. Él le dijo que su nombre es Greg. Ella le dijo que su nombre es Ramona. Pensó que era un poco atrevido o descortés pedirle su número. Así que le ofreció su número de teléfono y ella también ofreció el suyo. Ha sido la amabilidad, la inteligencia, la humildad y la habilidad espontánea y contagiosa de Ramona para reírse, esas cualidades que realmente atrajeron a Greg hacia ella. Ha sido la amabilidad, cortesía, espontaneidad, inteligencia y habilidad de Greg para hacerla reír, esas cualidades que realmente atrajeron a Ramona hacia él. Así que aquí estamos. El resto es historia. Estamos ansiosos por comenzar este nuevo capítulo juntos y no podemos esperar para celebrarlo con nuestra gente favorita.
