Andrey & Kylie first laid eyes on each other on the way to the Berkeley-Stanfurd Big Game. After stealing glances around the UC Berkeley campus, they were introduced by mutual friends. Andrey charmed Kylie with dates all over the Bay Area; they fell in love over french toast at Rick & Ann's and strolls from the Campanile to the Berkeley Rose Garden. A long distance relationship was looming, but during a trip to Europe, they knew that staying together was more important than the physical distance between them. The next chapters included lots of studying, chatting on every app from Facebook Messenger to Facetime, and exploring new & old cities together. They adopted Shasta "MooMoo" Mulvaney-Kisel, who brings them joy daily. Kylie started a residency training in OBGYN and Andrey in Psychiatry. After 10 years of dating (6 of 10 long distance), Andrey (finally) surprised Kylie by bringing their families together & asking her to marry him at the Berkeley Rose Garden, where their relationship had first blossomed. They cannot wait to conclude their long long-distance chapter when Kylie moves to SF Bay Area in summer 2025!
