Laurie Farinacci is the erstwhile wife of famous producer, songwriter, musician, and frontman John Rzeznik of the rock band group Goo Goo Dolls. She gained popularity following her marriage to the music star in the early 1990s. Unfortunately, the union that many thought would pass the time test failed after a decade.
They Got Married In The Early 1990s
Marriage doesn’t just happen overnight. Desires come first, then intentions follow, and lastly decisions. Farinacci and her ex-husband didn’t through all these in their relationship before they decided to walk down the aisle in 1993.
Before that, they first bumped into each other in 1990. Rzeznik must have seen in her a woman who could be his wife, which is why he approached her. They used two years getting to more about each other and going on dates. During this period, the pair discovered that they were meant to go beyond just dating, they wanted something more profound.
So, there was an engagement a year before their wedding. Just like any other typical engagements, it came with a ring from Rzeznik who must have popped the usual question, ‘will you marry me?’ And Farinacci accepted the proposal.
