Philip & Veronica met in 2013 (Veronica as a freshman, Philip as a junior) within her first week of college since they were living in the same unit of the Holland International Living Center dorm at Cornell University. They became friends after she determinedly insisted they hang out and Philip convinced her to join the International Students' Board, where they spent Sunday afternoons strolling to & from central campus to look over financial spreadsheets. As dull as that might sound, they found they really enjoyed each other's company. They started dating six months later and Veronica knew that Philip was the kind of quiet, caring, no-nonsense person that she wanted in her life for the long-term.

Since then (9 years later), Philip & Veronica have been on many adventures together, exploring some cool spots around the U.S. and abroad. They endured 3 years of arduous long-distance culminating in a ridiculous number of 4-hr bus rides between NYC and DC. Thankfully, Philip and Veronica now both live in Hoboken, NJ, where they get to enjoy the luxury of having a car, close friends in the area, and of course easy access to all things NYC.
