Cristina and Ignacio both chose to attend the University of South Florida for college. They both wanted to live in the Honors dorm rooms, and it just so happens they were placed three doors apart from one another! Just a few days into the start of freshman year, a large friend group formed from the students living on the floor. As they spent more time together throughout the year, they went from peers, to friends, to best friends, to something more... 11/13/2026 marks 10 years since Ignacio asked Cristina to officially date and 11/14/2026 marks them starting their new decade together as a married couple!
