Richard and Analiz met in pharmacy school in 2018, when Rich found the perfect excuse to introduce himself—bringing over a label with Analiz’s name during lab. What started as a small, thoughtful moment quickly turned into something neither of them expected. From then on, they were inseparable—sitting side by side in every class and spending countless hours together in daily Zoom study sessions. Somewhere between the long days and late nights, their friendship quietly grew into love. Their first kiss came during the credits of Everything Everywhere All at Once—a simple, perfect moment that felt like the beginning of everything. Since then, they’ve been best friends and partners, growing together every step of the way. They’ve traveled the world side by side—from Japan and Canada to Puerto Rico and the Jersey Shore—building a life full of memories, laughter, and love. At home, their dog Jack keeps life joyful with daily walks and lots of treats. What began with a single introduction has become a beautiful journey—one filled with love, adventure, and choosing each other every day.
