Story
With so many friends in common at the University Catholic Center, it was just a matter of time for Salim and Alicia to meet. And well that is how it happened on a beautiful spring day in April 2016. Alicia found herself helping her art club after mass, talking to church goers about an upcoming art show, friends surrounded the table and so did Salim. He was talking to a friend and their conversation caught Alicia's attention so she decided to join in, she introduced herself and so did Salim, they got to know each other and became really good friends.
Fall semester came and they continued building their friendship, they discovered that they had so many things in common and enjoyed each others company, and thanks to signing up to be table leaders at Awakening retreat, Salim and Alicia started spending even more time together. So they realized (also thanks to a very good friend ;) ) there was more there than just friendship. Salim asked Alicia to be his girlfriend on October 5th, 2016, becoming a very unforgettable day for both of them, marking the start of their love story.
