They met while she was completing her practicum at the Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública. She was put on his student team. He was one of the first people she met when she arrived to Mexico. We met at a coffee shop with other members from the team and later that night we went to the movies together. From then on he enjoyed teasing her and embarrassing her whenever we were together. He began introducing her as "Katie, my future wife." Eventually, as we spent more time together we fell in love and now he really can introduce her as his future wife.

She surprised him by coming to Tonalá to spend Christmas with him and his family. During this trip we realized we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. He took her to the beach at sunset and proposed and she said "YES!" We're so excited to celebrate the next chapter in our lives with you.
