About the Couple:
Bride: Jennifer Scott
Groom: Bobby Brooks
Occupations: Jennifer manages a bar and Bobby is a hockey coach.
How they met: Jennifer reminisces, “Bobby was the first person I met in college. He was in his third year and was helping run the first-year orientation. Instead of doing his job and circulating around the tables, he kept finding his way back to mine. We’ve been together ever since.”
Favourite date: When the couple was dating they attended a Gatineau Olympiques hockey game, and Jennifer got hit by a puck! Coincidentally, a month later Bobby was hired as the team’s assistant coach and went on to lead the team to a big success.
What attracted her to him: “His confidence and presence in a room. You can’t be around Bobby and not be drawn to him.”
What attracted him to her: “Her beautiful smile, and her ability to make everyone else in the room smile.”
Words they live by: “We are a team, win or lose. We’re in it together.”
Engagement story: Bobby planned to propose to Jennifer on her birthday, after asking for her father’s blessing. Unfortunately, Jennifer’s father suffered a heart attack that morning, before Bobby could pop the question. Later that night, Bobby explained to Jennifer what his original plan was for her birthday. “As we left the house Bobby was acting strange, and he finally took my hand on the front step. It wasn’t until halfway through his speech that I realized he was asking me to be his wife.” The next day, the nurses assured everybody that Jennifer’s dad was well enough to hear the good news. Jennifer says, “It was the happy news everyone needed at a hard time.”
