Giovanni and Taylor's love story began on the Christmas of 2021 at Cromwell's cherished sports bar, Chicago Sam's. Despite Giovanni's persistent requests for a date, it wasn't until July 20, 2022, that they finally embarked on their first official date marking the beginning of a beautiful journey that would see them become inseparable. Fast forward two years, and the couple finds themselves navigating the joys and challenges of homeownership as first-time buyers and landlords in Middletown, CT. Their days are filled with adventures on their speedboat along the CT River and dedicated efforts renovating their 36-foot flybridge project. At home, they care for their saltwater fish tank housing many saltwater creatures. Shortly after their first cruise together, Giovanni chose a picturesque moment on 4/24/24 at an Old Saybrook marina to ask Taylor the most important question of all. Giovanni finally popped the question and Taylor said yes! They enjoyed the evening surrounded by their closest family and friends to celebrate! As they eagerly anticipate the new chapter ahead, Giovanni and Taylor are filled with excitement at the prospect of celebrating this milestone with all the cherished individuals who have played a significant role in their journey. Together, they look forward to the adventures that await and the memories they will create!
