7960928074?profile=originalGiovanni and Grace Marquez celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal celebration. Giovanni vividly remembered the day he met Grace in downtown Pittsburgh in 1967. He was picking up someone after work and noticed Grace as she came out of the building. ‘It was the best part of my day,’ he said. Soon after, he saw her at a dance. He asked her out on the floor, and that was it — a love match! They were married two years later, on Sept. 19, 1969, at Saint Paul Cathedral in Pittsburgh. The couple lives in Boca Raton and at Marina Village in Boynton Beach, near their menswear store, FSB, on Ocean Avenue. Both are 73 and agree that the secret to a happy marriage is prayer. ‘A family that prays together, stays together,’ Giovanni said. In their spare time, the couple enjoys the arts, live entertainment, going out to dinner, traveling, spending time with family — they have two grown children — and, of course, dancing.
