She was amazed by Paul’s charisma, and she loved the way he acted cool.
Impressions occurred on both sides as Paul said for Entertainment Tonight.
He couldn’t take his eyes off of Jennifer!
He knew about her beauty even before they met, but when he saw Jennifer in person she was even prettier.
Moreover, they fancy each other, it wasn’t clear if they are dating or not.
But after the attacks in 2001, known as 9/11 attack Paul decided to make an even bigger move than officiating their relationship.
During the moments of the attacks he was more worried about Jennifer than himself, and at that moment he had no more doubts that she is the one.
Then Paul decided to call a woman that he barely knew and propose to her.
Luckily for him, Jennifer felt the same and said “yes”!
The couple couldn’t wait anymore and moved in together soon after the proposal.
