ABOUT JENNIFER
Where are you from? I grew up in New Jersey, my husband grew up in Houston. We met and fell in love in New York where we had our wedding and plan to stay!
What do you do for a living? I am a personal trainer, I own my own business called Small But Mighty Training. My husband works in finance for a private equity firm called Raine.
How did you meet your partner?We met at a corporate gym in midtown Manhattan. His personal trainer quit or got fired from the gym and he wound up training with me! Before long, we realized we had more in common besides a love of weightlifting!
When did you first know you were in love? I think it was when he taught me a game called Shoe Golf in a park in the East Village. It was such a simple, silly game, but it was so much fun because we were together. We could always have the longest conversations at night (and we’re both earlybirds!). And he didn’t give me too hard of a time when we were out at a bar in Newport, Rhode Island and he left to go to the bathroom and when he came back I was asleep!

How did you meet your partner? We met on Hinge!
When did you first know you were in love? About 2 weeks after our first date. We sat down to discuss whether we had a future and we agreed this was likely short lived because of our differences in religion (I’m Christian, he is Jewish). 2 weeks later we admitted we’d both lied because we were already in love. We became exclusive that same day, and haven’t looked back since.
