Gabriel Jude Il'Giovine Young- man about town, unknown 21st century poet, and raconteur.
Virginia Suzanne Davies- fairy princess, munchkin, and math prodigy.
In early 2004,while Gabriel was wandering the earth, the cosmic tumblers locked into place
and a sonic convergence was awakened.
Virginia and Gabe met through mutual friend Jon Fu, of Shinobu fame. Virginia was a DJ at
KSCU and knew Jon from the local music scene. Gabe and Jon had previously recorded a
CD together. After seeing a picture of Virginia, Gabe asked (begged) Jon to introduce him to
his cute friend. The rest is history.
About two years later, Gabe proposed. He got custom M&M's printed up in Virginia's favorite
colors. They said, "Marry Me Shmoopy." After coming home from grocery shopping Virginia
noticed there was an M&M dispenser in their bag that they didn't buy. She pulled down the
arm of the little M&M man and was overwhelmed by a deluge of purple and yellow M&M's.
Figuring out what was going on, Virginia cried- and said "Yes."
This brings us to January 17, 2007. Gabe and Virginia eloped to Kauai, Hawaii to get married
on a tropical beach. The inscription on their rings? "Pookie loves Shmoopy" and "Shmoopy
loves Pookie." Aloha!
UPDATE
Gabe and Virginia have returned from Hawaii! Everything went perfectly.
Gabe officially earned his Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology in March of '07. He is
currently practicing psychotherapy with a United Way agency in the Bay Area and also works
at Stanford Medical School in the division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Also, he is
working towards licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist while pursuing a Ph. D. in
Human and Organizational Systems.
Virginia has earned her undergraduate degree in mathematics at San Jose State University.
She's finishing up her teacher credentialing classes at National Hispanic University, which
has awarded her a scholarship. Virginia has been teaching middle school mathematics and
is deciding where to pursue her Master's degree.
