My husband and I were destined to be together from a young age but we didn’t know it.
We would like to thank you for supporting Tony and Ro in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Our love story began when my grandmother, whom I was visiting at her summer home, had to get her car checked at the mechanic shop. I went with her and immediately noticed this tall, Italian looking, man working on cars. His eyes sparkled with his smile and I knew I needed to meet him. But my grandmother had to ask my Uncle if she should do the repairs needed on her car so we left. My uncle gave her the go ahead to fix the car and I ran to the nearest pay phone, yes pay phone, and called out.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?I would have to say my favorite memory is our first date at the drive in theater. We talked, and talked and it felt like we’ve known each other our whole lives. He was polite and shy so I made the first move saying my hands were cold. He immediately held my hands to warm them up and has been doing so for the past 44 years.
What would you do with $20,000?If we won, I would take our whole family on a vow renewal vacation. I would love to be on a beach looking into the eyes of the man I love renewing our vows with our three children, our two in law children, 7 grandchildren, siblings and our 89 year old parents.
