Jennie & Joe: Part Two

If you missed part one of Jennie & Joe's One Love session, click here http://kristinesoares.blogspot.com/2012/02/jennie-joe-part-one.html to get caught up.

I mentioned before that I like to ask a few simple questions to get to know the couple better, well...I have to throw in a few oddball questions too. Just to keep them on their toes. I asked Jennie and Joe, if a movie was made about them, what would it be and who would play them? Jennie thinks it would be an indie flick called Is Yahoo Personal (that's one version of how they met)? And she would be played by either Mila Kunis or Zooey Deschanel. Both are incredibly loveable and funny, just like Jennie. And Joe's answer, makes me think he has thought about this question before. It would be an R rated movie called Against the World, directed by Michael Bay. "Dexter"(Michael C. Hall) would be the lead, Tom Cruise plays a crazy neighbor and get this, the father would be played by Christopher Walken. Wow. Now that's a movie!

 

Some think that after a couple have been together long enough, that the romance dies. I'm pretty sure that isn't the case with these two. Romance doesn't always have to be grand gestures, sometimes the little things go a long way. For Jennie & Joe, it's as simple as opening the car door for one another(scene from A Bronx Tale, flashing in my head).

I always like to hear how people knew that they were in love or have met the "one". When Joe saw Jennie coming off a train, she ran to give him a hug and he was "hooked". Jennie remembers Joe taking her to see her favorite Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Nights Dream. She glanced over at Joe and started picturing herself growing old with him and then had the courage to say the words, "I love you" for the first time. 

               

So lastly, I like to ask all my couples what they think makes a relationship work/last. Jennie & Joe believe that honesty and communication are vital to the success of a good relationship. Joe had to add in "endless patience", which I totally agree with! Jennie also added date nights. "Life can get chaotic and it's important to take time out to remember what made you fall in love with each other". Well said, Jennie, well said. 

I want to thank Jennie & Joe for sharing their story and being great models to work with. Be sure to check out my Soundtrack of My Life page for a special song dedicated to the Hertellos!
