"Like many couples today, Gary and Joanna's story started online. Joanna would tell you that Gary was a subpar communicator over text, and legend has it she almost canceled their first date because of this. Their first real-life meeting took place at a local restaurant, where they both felt immediately at ease with each other. They spent the evening exploring the charm of Downtown Gilbert and it didn't take them long to realize they had something special and that Gary is in fact, a FANTASTIC communicator.

In the following months, they created countless memories and started introducing each other to their families. It was during this time that Joanna met Theadora, Gary's sweet daughter. As they spent more and more time together, their love grew stronger and the three of them became a family.

After asking Joanna's Parents (Madre and Bumpie) for her hand forever, their story took a beautiful turn. Joanna said 'YES' to Gary's proposal, making him the happiest man on earth. Their love story continues to unfold, and they couldn't be more excited about what the future holds for their family."
