Christina and Kevin met during freshman year of college through a mutual friend. Though they did not get along at first, their friendship and respect for each other grew over time. It wasn't until graduate school that Kevin started to develop funny feelings for Christina. Christina didn't reciprocate at first, but maybe it was the long hours of studying together, the shared misery that is graduate school, or Kevin's continuous support with Christina's research projects--but Kevin finally won her over. Since then, the two of them have had numerous adventures together: traveling to places like Vancouver and Australia, moving to Los Angeles during the pandemic to complete their doctoral training, and finally settling down (for now) in the Bay Area. Throughout this time they supported each other through thick and thin, and not only graduated with their PhDs together but also got licensed as psychologists together. On December 4, 2023, during a trip to Honolulu to celebrate Christina's birthday, Kevin proposed to Christina on a private beach with a scrapbook he had made telling their story, similar to the one you just read. She said yes! And now they are planning their wedding and preparing to embark on the next part of their journey together.
