How We Met

It is a tale as old as time. Guy meets girl, tailgating skills are flaunted, girl falls in love, and they live happily ever after... Colleen and Derek met as juniors at the University of Iowa where they lived down the hall from each other. It was a unique situation where Colleen and 7 of her friends occupied 2 apartments on the floor, and Derek had a similar situation at the other end of the hall - so it made sense that when the girls threw a party Derek naturally wandered over. Between his boyish good looks, spot on humor, and uncanny ability to never miss a cup in beer pong, Colleen never stood a chance. Colleen's superb dance moves and 100 watt smile did not hurt matters either! From then on it was trips to the library, Pita Pit, and the local establishment Summit that really sealed the deal. Colleen even pretended to enjoy football!
