PATCHOGUE, New York When Leann and Luigi Pisano tested positive for COVID-19 last year, both were thankful to have each other.
They finally recovered after weeks of isolation, and Luigi decided that it was time to ask the love of his life to marry him. I said Leann, life is all about ups and downs, and we just lived through some of the worst of it, Luigi said. Why don t you marry me?
Leann said absolutely, and Luigi later followed up with a second, formal proposal with an engagement ring.
His first proposal came during the peak of the COVID lockdown when all but essential businesses were closed.
