Gilbert Ventura 30 years young grew up in Altadena ended up moving to Rosemead and went to Rosemead high school. He is currently helping his mother manage a catering/cafe business. He also loves to be active and go hiking.

We both knew each other in high school we just never crossed paths. Once Gilbert graduated I would always see his red SUV truck pick up his twin sisters at the same corner my mom would pick me up from. One day as I was waiting to cross the street the truck pulls up about to make a right turn we both looked at each other and he just nodded his head I guess saying what’s up! Later on I decided to message him on Facebook and saying you saw me walking home in the heat &; couldn’t offer me a ride just a head nod are you too cool? Lol that was 12 years ago I was 16 years old he was 18. We have been inseparable since. Our favorite thing to do together is go hiking. I began living with him when I was 19 years old his family just moved into a house that had a back pool house with an extra room. Almost every year We have gone on trips together one of our favorites is Cancun, Mexico. On June 19 2022 we were on vacation in Hawaii and we went to watch the sunrise at Lanikai Beach on our last day there and he got down on 1 knee it was 7am we were the only ones there and he asked me to marry him I said yes and we celebrated by jumping in the warm crystal clear water & swam with a turtle.
