Kate + Victor

​met at an internal medicine luncheon on the 1st day of residency at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI, June 25, 2009 at ~12:25 pm. By 12:55 pm, Victor knew he wanted to marry her after just their first encounter. Victor knew how much Kate loved Tigers, so Victor took her to her first Tigers game. She even put her hair up in pig tails so that she could get Victor a Tigers lunch box (given only to children up to age 14; she nearly had that lunch box as well) Kate however insisted on a "real" tiger for her to keep. Victor kept insisting that maybe if they kept going to Tiger games, her wish may come true. She waited a long long time (Victor kept waiting for a deal on baby tigers to show up on SlickDeals/Amazon). Eventually she had waited long enough, and when the 2013 playoffs came, though the Detroit Tigers lost, it was Victor who won the tiger to keep for himself (see picture).
