Romi and Jose were classmates at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and started dating in 2015, during their second year there. Upon completing vet school, they moved from Gainesville to Portland, Oregon together where Jose matched for his internship. Romi had hoped to live in Portland after being introduced to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest by her stepfather, Aiman, and it seems it was meant to be! After the internship, they moved back to Gainesville for the completion of Jose's residency and fellowship. However, the Pacific Northwest captured their nature and adventure-loving spirits and is to be their forever-home upon their move next summer.
