Jayne Scuncio and Frank Gonzalez may not be high school sweethearts, but they can thank their chemistry teacher for bringing them together. The pair met as students in San Jose in 2004 and were friends for five years before they started dating in college. “We would drive back and forth between San Luis Obispo, where I went to Cal Poly, and Santa Barbara, where Frank went to UCSB,” Jayne says. The couple now calls the Bay Area home, but it was a trip to Brooklyn that changed their lives. “We had walked through the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and stopped for a cocktail to cool off from the summer heat,” she recalls. “Frank was paying for our drinks, and I headed out to the back patio. I was surprised to find that we had the place to ourselves. Frank snuck up behind me while I was looking around, and got down on one knee holding the most beautiful asscher-cut diamond!”
