Though Carmine and Jennifer did not attend the same high school, they are a classic story of high school sweethearts. Meeting through mutual friends in January 2011, the first time Carmine and Jennifer met they hit it off without a hitch! Though Carmine played "hard to get" and waited three days to call Jennifer after they exchanged phone numbers, that did not stop Jennifer from falling head over heels. After three months, Carmine and Jennifer became official as boyfriend and girlfriend. Carmine and Jennifer continued their relationship long distance as Jennifer departed for pharmacy school at Butler University in Indianapolis, IN, but that only made their love and desire for each other stronger. Just as the two thought long distance was over after being in the same state for a year, Carmine pursued additional schooling and attended IUPUI (Indianapolis University-Purdue University in Indianapolis) for one year. Happy to say that both Carmine and Jennifer are officially done with schooling and love their new titles as medical dosimetrist and clinical pharmacist, respectively! Carmine had always joked about dating for 10 years before getting married, to which Jennifer always shook her head. Well, here we are 10 years later before saying "I Do" ! We cannot wait to celebrate this blessed day with each and every one of you!

When Carmine asked Jennifer to be his girlfriend in March 2011, he brought Jennifer to Jackson Park (across the street from her childhood home) and challenged her to a game of 21. If he won, he got to ask Jennifer a question. There was no other alternative as Carmine tried his hardest in his entire life to win this game. After Carmine had beat Jennifer in a very close game, he escorted her over to the playground where a message was written out in chalk asking Jennifer to be his girlfriend. With a bouquet of roses hidden in a safety cone, immediately, Jennifer said yes! Fast forward to June 29, 2019, the day before Carmine and Jennifer's Italy trip. Carmine had brought Jennifer to get her nails done with her mom, when all of a sudden Carmine "went home to go to the bathroom." In the meantime, Carmine went back to Jackson Park and wrote out the proposal in chalk just as he had done 8 years prior. When Jennifer returned from the nail salon, Carmine challenged her to a game of PIG at Jackson Park. (It was a little too hot to play a full game of 21 and Jennifer had to keep her hair nice and done for a dinner was also planned that evening to celebrate the proposal). The plan slightly backfired on Carmine as Jennifer won the game of PIG. Regardless, Carmine continued with the proposal as planned and Jennifer accepted!
