When Vivian was sitting in front of Donald Bren Engineering Hall at the University of California Irvine, she didn't know she'd be meeting the love of her life. While waiting for her English class to start, Vivian and her friend Michael had a debate about everyone knows who "Doctor Who" was. Vivian was convinced not every person knew, especially if he was good looking guy. As Vivian and Michael were having this debate, Sam walks by. Vivian told Michael to ask "that cute guy" if he knew who "Doctor Who" was. Sam, while rushing to get his caffeine fix, heard "The Who" and not "Doctor Who", responded with "Uh, yeah?". To Vivian's then disbelief (spoiler-Sam didn't know who "Doctor Who" was) she walked towards her class that was starting. As she was about to enter the the building, Sam held the door open for her. So, she figured she'd ask this cute guy out for coffee. He then asked her out to dinner during their coffee date. And the rest was history.
