Gemma and Gus have been married for about 3 months. They are quite happily. When they first met, Gemma was visiting Gus's native England. Gemma was then only fifteen, and Gus was seventeen. Gus's family was destitute, barely getting through each day. As the eldest of seven, Gus sacrificed much. Gemma's heart went out to the Eldridges, as she herself was the only child of a wealthy Italian family. From then on, she began going every summer to stay with the Eldridges and help them. Her parents, Arianna and Bruno, were supportive of this and when Gus proposed to Gemma, Arianna and Bruno were happy for their daughter, even though Augustine B. Eldridge was not rich. Money wasn't everything to the Evangelista family.
