HANKO, 39 AND JENKINS, 38

Jan. 11- Glyn Jenkins and Debra Hanko met at a bar near Times Square one fateful night last April when Jenkins was visiting New York from his hometown of Manchester, England. “We instantly recognized that we had so much in common,” recalls the bride, a production manager for a Manhattan fashion company. Less than a year later, Hanko proposed on New Year’s Eve. “We were destined to be together,” says the bride. Jenkins, a former schoolteacher in England, and Hanko wed at city hall and are planning two receptions with their families in Seattle and England.
