Christine and Kevin met at an ugly Christmas sweater party at Sigma Chi during their Sophomore year at Michigan State. Christine introduced herself with a fake name but later divulged her nickname, Teenz. After working frivolously the next day to find out her real name, Kevin slid into her Facebook DMs with a legendary pick-up line (not). Thanks to the support from her good friend, she declined to respond. However, weeks later, they ran into each other at an NYE party in Windsor, Canada. Full names were exchanged, and the rest is history.

The next couple of years in college involved their first date at P.F. Changs, Library study dates, formals, date parties, their last date at MSU (P.F. Changs, again), graduation, and many more memories.

After graduation, they were long-distance for three years while Kevin was on a rotational program for work, traveling to each other whenever possible. Fortunately, they could experience London, Paris, Munich, Barcelona, the Canary Islands, and (of course) Sturgis, Michigan. In 2020, COVID brought Kevin home from England before moving to Austin, Texas. Shortly after, Teenz joined Kevin in Austin, where he proposed two years later.
