Tanya and Kevin (we) first met during undergraduate college. We were both Bio/pre-med majors whose paths finally crossed during one fateful afternoon biology lab. Kevin was negotiating with classmates to share notes, intent on minimizing attendance as much as possible. Tanya clearly had no intention of sharing, let alone skipping class. However, she did volunteer that Kevin had really bad roots and should do something about it. She kindly offered to help him out and the rest is history.

     Today, we've acclimated to life in the Bronx and even work in the same department while Tanya puts the finishing touches on her Ph.D. During the past few Labor Day weekends, we've found ourselves returning to Lake George, NY time and again, which is a special place, evoking childhood vacation memories. That's why we've decided to get married there and have everyone share in the fun.

     We were engaged on the (almost) hottest day of all-time at the New York Botanical Gardens in Bronx, NY. Through the modern miracles of science, Kevin's brother Ian was able to liveblog the event and keep his hair intact despite the high humidity. A "surprise" party followed thereafter at The Hurricane Club for friends in the NYC area. Over the years, we have been fortunate to develop a number of good relationships with family, friends and colleagues. While not everyone could be there for the engagement, we're hoping that you'll be able to join us upstate for yet another special moment in our lives.
