Their story begins in 2011, when Devin and Christine were starting their first year of medical school. Christine sat in the first row with Devin a few rows behind her and it wasn’t long before they caught each other's' eye. After a few months, Devin approached Christine with a bottle of Smart water and Lindt truffles while she was studying to see if she would put down her books and go out on a date. Unfortunately for them, the timing just wasn’t right. Fate would have their paths through medicine diverge for the remainder of medical school and their respective anesthesia residencies. They kept in touch throughout those years because, as fortune would have it, they share the same birthday, April 8th. But that wasn’t enough to bring them together. It wasn’t until Devin was back home in Southern California and Christine was making plans to return home to Northern California that their mutual friend, Kait, saw an opportunity to finally play matchmaker. She had been telling both of them that they were a good match for years and now that they were both done with training and distance wouldn’t be an issue, she began pushing each of them to make the first move. It turns out, the timing was right a little over nine years later. That first date finally happened in August of 2020. Sparks flew immediately - Kait was right all along. The relationship quickly progressed and the happy couple got engaged in June 2021. Christine and Devin got legally married in an intimate ceremony with them and an officiant on October 9, 2021. They currently practice anesthesia together at the same hospital in Valencia, CA and are excited for everyone to join them in their wedding celebrations on September 4th, 2022!
