Actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli have laid low for most of their
marriage, but that changed in March 2019, when the pair was indicted in connection with
a massive college admissions scam.
Let's take a closer look at some of the strange, scandalous, and adorable things about this
celebrity couple.
While Kim Kardashian's wedding dress landed her in Vogue, Lori Loughlin's nuptials were
far more low key.
The Full House star tied the knot with Giannulli in 1997 while both were wearing sweatpants
and ski hats.
Not the look you'd expect from a fashion mogul and his bride-to-be!
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Loughlin revealed that she eloped with Giannulli
on Thanksgiving day at sunrise.
The guest list consisted of his best friend and a minister, and rather than a reception,
they headed off to Thanksgiving dinner, where they shared the news with their loved ones.
Loughlin explained to ET,
In that same interview with Entertainment Tonight, Loughlin revealed that she celebrated
her anniversary on the wrong day for 20 years!
What happened?
They were going off their marriage license, which mistakenly said November 25th, 1997.
Their nuptials were actually two days later.
Loughlin told ET that she only came to the realization that she was celebrating her anniversary
on the wrong day after having dinner with actresses Candace Cameron Bure and Marilu
Henner.
Henner is one of just 12 people diagnosed with hyperthymesia, a memory condition that
allows her to "remember specific details from almost every day of her life."
"It really is like selected scenes on a DVD."
"'November 25th, 1982.'
And she'll go, like, 'That's a Wednesday.'
Like, she just knows."
Henner reportedly told Loughlin, who was reminiscing about her Turkey Day elopement, that November
25th, 1997 was a Tuesday and could not possibly have been their wedding date.
Loughlin told ET,
The romantic in all of us wants to believe in love at first sight.
When you know, you know, right?
That's what the stories always say.
As it turns out, Loughlin's marriage to Giannulli is indeed the stuff of fairy tales.
In an interview with Closer Weekly, Loughlin admitted that she always had a different feeling
about the Mossimo clothing mogul.
The pair reportedly met in a restaurant in Los Angeles.
It was pretty much love at first sight from there.
Though they eloped after two years of dating, he was Loughlin's end game from day one.
She told Closer Weekly,
Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse aren't a thing in real life, but we can't stop hoping, and
neither can Lori Loughlin's real-life husband.
Before the big scandal, Giannulli had a habit of dropping into Loughlin's social media comments
section to publicly 'ship his longtime love for TV's dreamiest uncle.
Though she has since deleted all of her accounts, Loughlin once revealed to ET that she used
to get an onslaught of comments about Uncle Jesse every time she posted something about
Giannulli.
The gist is that her fans want her to marry the dreamy John Stamos, not the guy who used
to make flip-flops for Target.
"But you are a great dad.
You really are."
Though Loughlin and her hubby normally just laughed the comments off, he occasionally
felt the need to chime in.
Loughlin told ET,
A couple that (allegedly) commits crimes together also spends exorbitant amounts of money to
bail themselves out together.
When Loughlin and Giannulli were charged with fraud for allegedly paying $500,000 in bribes
to get their children into USC, they had to come up with $2 million in bail money.
So the pair used their $35 million mansion as "collateral."
Their massive Bel-Air home has reportedly proved helpful in more ways than one.
According to People, the couple has been "laying low" with their two kids, Olivia Jade and
Isabella Rose, in the wake of the scandal.
At least being stuck at home stings a little less when you've got six bedrooms, nine bathrooms,
and a country club in your backyard.
"Let's go get the bread!
Dough!
Money!"
