They were in study hall together at Floral Park Memorial High School but when Diana and Giovanni got to college, they fell out of touch. Five years later, the pair reconnected at a friend’s graduation party and started dating. Giovanni, 27, a physical therapist, proposed after Diana’s birthday dinner at Iavarone’s Prime View in Port Washington. “He gave me three different presents, for the past, present and future,” says Diana, 28, a teacher. “He gave me a framed picture from the past and future tickets for the Blue Man Group. I thought it was just those two presents and then he said, ‘There’s one more thing,’ and then got down on one knee and proposed.” At the celebration for 200 at the Royalton Mansion, the bride and groom danced to “Everything” by Michael Bubl. They honeymooned in St. Lucia.
