It all started at Brother Jimmy’s on Lexington Ave. It was a Friday night, and he was with his roommates at his neighborhood watering hole. She was out for drinks with girlfriends to celebrate one of their birthdays at her former workplace. They had an instant connection, and had a revelrous night that ended with singing karaoke in a sushi bar. By the second date, it was for real. Vinny got sick and had to leave early, but when Hayley came by his apartment with desserts (which he didn't share and she'll never let him live it down). He was so touched he knew their relationship would be special. Before they knew it, they had settled into pseudo-suburban life in Brooklyn and began planning the rest of their lives together.
