But for Kati and Scott, their hearts could never leave their hometown of Lititz. The couple knew each other -- but never dated -- in high school, and after graduating from separate colleges, they returned home. Soon after, Kati and Scott ran into each other at a local bar, and a little more than a year later, they bought a home of their own.
