Seven-Year Itch? Hardly… it’s more like 40 years of bliss
We first featured Luis and Carol Fondevila in our 2013 Valentines issue and are happy to inform readers that the past seven years have not resulted in the titular phenomenon. In fact, the couple is celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this year.
Still residing in Windsor Square, Carol reports that life and marriage have only gotten better with time. “We feel very blessed in our lives. We enjoy what we do (running an investment advisory business together) and are fortunate to have wonderful clients and family who work with us.” The Fondevilas’ daughter, Francesca, and Carol’s sister, Joanna, have worked for the firm for nearly a decade. “We also live within walking distance to our office, so we can feel good about reducing our carbon footprint,” she proudly adds.
On weekends Carol and Luis can be found decompressing at their home in Santa Barbara. There, Luis plays tennis with a group called the Montecito Mafia, and Carol enjoys hiking, yoga and gardening.
What’s next? By the sounds of it, the Fondevilas will embark on the trip of a lifetime to celebrate their special anniversary. “We are taking a cruise from Bali to Singapore, with a stopover in Beijing.” We’ll look forward to the photos and catching up with this adventurous couple maybe even before another seven years.
