When Christine arrived at a conference in Atlanta for international students, she was excited and hopeful for many things--good food, making new friends, and learning about different cultures. When Morteza arrived in Atlanta, he was determined to take part in the talent show. As it often happens, neither of them had any idea of who they were about to meet. The first night they met was full of awkward small talk, Morteza cracking a lot of jokes, and Christine laughing a lot of laughs. From that night until now, there's been a lot less awkward small talk and a lot more laughter.
