How we got together...

Colin and Lynn met in May 2005 when Colin was a summer intern at The New Jersey Herald, the newspaper where Lynn worked as a reporter. After they were introduced, Colin had to ask his editor to remind him what Lynn's name was.

Once that was all straightened out, the two began talking one day when Colin was placed at the desk next to Lynn. Lynn learned about Colin's obsession with movies, and she mentioned how there was a local drive-in theater she always wanted to go to.

Lynn was searching for the perfect drive-in movie to invite Colin to, and when "War of the Worlds" came out in July 1, she thought it was a perfect fit. So on July 1, 2005, Lynn and Colin went to the Warwick, N.Y. Drive-In.

Neither of them knew whether it was a date or not. Colin paid for the entrance, trying to signify that he'd like it to be a date. But when Lynn offered to share her blanket with Colin, he declined; he thought he was trying to be macho, but she thought he wasn't interested. The end of the date wasn't any clearer; Lynn dropped Colin off at his car, but there was no kiss and not even a hug! (It's hard to hug in a car.)

But alas, a few days later, Lynn called Colin from the laundromat and invited him to go karaokesinging with her that week. Lynn made Colin dinner before the date, and as a gift Colin brought Lynn his culinary special; a box of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, which she had said was her favorite. They also played Texas Hold'Em Poker, which along with karaoke remains two of their favorite hobbies to this day.

This time, they were both pretty sure it was a date...and this time it DID end with a kiss!
