Christina and Mike sat next to each other during their first semester of nursing school in August 2016 and somehow went through the whole semester without talking to each other. It wasn't until March 2018 when they went on a spring break trip to Vegas with some close classmates. This was where they officially met and talked. A week after the trip, they went on their first date and have been inseparable since then. After numerous food and boba dates, they became official on May 2, 2018. They have traveled and made life lasting memories in many cities together.

Three and a half years of memories later, Mike proposed during their trip to Monterey. On September 4, 2021, Mike popped the question over breakfast sandwiches at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, and Christina said yes! The whole event was captured with a drone, which Mike had to learn how to use a few months before the proposal.
