It started when we met in a lab office and shook hands; we didn't think much of it at first. We played some softball and some badminton, stuffed our faces together, and things began to click. After endless amounts of late night fried chicken and board games, we knew we were meant to be together. We ate until we hated ourselves, and we both don't deal well with losing :)

On a weekday evening, Mike picked up Lucia after work to go on a dinner date. We took a detour to visit the Alexandra bridge, a location connecting two provinces, symbolic of connecting us together despite the long distance. Mike got down on one knee, made some speech (which Lucia remembers none of), and the rest is history!
