Roxana and Kevin met on March 22, 2018 at a conference for their Masters in Bioethics at the University of Pittsburgh. That morning, Roxana arrived early to the conference, and sat near Kevin and his father while waiting for the conference to begin, eavesdropping on their conversation in Spanish, as she was shocked to hear Spanish in Pittsburgh. She gathered they were only visitors, but later the Program Director introduced Roxana to Kevin as a future classmate. Roxana and Kevin exchanged numbers so it wouldn't be so difficult for Kevin to move to a new city without knowing anyone. They were pen pals for about six months, until Kevin officially moved to the city and began the program. Kevin met up with Roxana in person for the first time at a local coffeeshop, and Roxana invited Kevin along to hang out with her friends so that he could meet more people. Kevin thought Roxana's extreme niceness was a little weird, but continued to hang out with her anyway, because as we know now, he was always in love with her :) They grew closer until eventually Kevin cooked Roxana dinner for her birthday, after her best friend, Darcy, met Kevin and nudged Roxana to give him a chance. Dinner turned into a date at the Penguins game, and then ice skating downtown, and Kevin eventually asked Roxana to be his girlfriend. Despite moving across the country for medical school, Roxana and Kevin's love continued to grow as they supported each other through life's highs and lows. On September 5th, 2021, Kevin finally popped the question at one of the first places Roxana took him to, and one of Roxana's favorite places in Pittsburgh. We are both beyond excited to spend forever together, and can't wait to see where life takes us!
