Kim (Germain) ’11 and Anthony Giordano ‘10

Kim was an elementary education major at Eastern, while Anthony was in business administration. Anthony’s cousin Jackie was Kim’s roommate at freshman orientation, and they continued as roommates for the rest of their college career. Jackie introduced Kim and Anthony . . . “And the rest is history!”

“Being together through all four years of college puts you through some tough times and many obstacles,” notes Kim. “When we both realized that we could make it through absolutely anything together, we knew we couldn’t be apart.”

The couple moved into their first home in Granby, CT, after graduation and Kim got a job as an elementary school teacher in Farmington, where she just completed her third year. Anthony is a sales manager for Solar City.

The couple got married on June 20, 2015, in the atrium of Hartford City Hall, and held their reception at the Society Room of Hartford. This fall they welcomed their first child — a baby girl — into the family!

A special moment at Eastern? “Our Senior Reception served as the culminating moment of our whole four years together at Eastern,” says Kim. “It was one of the most fun and memorable nights we had throughout those four years, not only with each other, but with all of our close friends whom we still are close with today. We still talk about that evening as being one of our favorite moments from college!”
