Marriage: it's what brings you to this website

We met while both working at Hoss's Steak and Sea House. Colin was back in Elizabethtown working for a year before going on for his Masters degree in education, and Jenni was in her junior year at Elizabethtown College, where she was studying psychology and sociology. Jenni asked Colin to take a shift for her, so that she could give Colin her phone number. After working together and going on a few dates, unfortunately for Colin, Jenni left for a semester abroad in Florence, Italy. BUT, luckily for Jenni, Colin and a friend were planning a European trip and that included time together in Italy. We have been eating Italian food together ever since.
