How They Met: In Toronto, Veronika’s hometown. They clicked instantly, so Veronika was disappointed to find out that Kevin lived in Houston. But they made it work, dated long-distance, and accumulated a lot of frequent-flier miles! After she finished her postgraduate program, she moved to Houston.
Years Together: Almost 2
Married For: 6 months
Career: Kevin is a marketing project specialist, and Veronika works for a nonprofit organization as a communications associate.
Baby Clock: Not for at least 4 more years. They'd like to accomplish a few more things before they have their first child, but they both want kids.
Fight Most About: Veronika had to ask Kevin because she couldn’t think of anything they seriously fight about, but one thing they argue over is the temperature of the house -- she’s always freezing and wearing sweats and slippers, and Kevin blasts the AC and walks around in shorts and a T-shirt. They also argue over the duvet because, somehow, more of it always ends up on his side of the bed.
Biggest Worry: Something tragic happening to either one of them or their parents (or their dog!)
Fantasy Buy: A dream vacation. They would love to go somewhere exotic and spend a week on the beach.
Who Makes More: Kevin does, "for now..." says Veronika.
Interests & Hobbies: They both love TV, home projects, going to the gym, movies, concerts, and their Wii!
Favorite Sports Team: Kevin loves all of the Houston teams. Veronika’s not into sports, but she support his love of sports.
Who Loves to Cook: Veronika taught herself how to cook a few meals that she keeps in rotation since they moved in together. Kevin's idea of cooking is throwing chicken nuggets in the oven or making grilled cheese.
Splurge: They have two amazing TVs -- a Panasonic flat-screen TV that hangs on their wall like art in their living room and another 52-inch DLP TV in their bedroom.
Guilty Pleasures: They both love candy and Cold Stone Creamery ice cream. They get the cake batter flavor with Butterfinger chocolate mixed in.
Decorating Style: Kevin is into a more modern style, and Veronika likes a clean, romantic style, like what you’d see in a Pottery Barn or Z Gallerie catalog. They’re about to paint their home, and they’re trying to work on merging their two styles.
Have Sex: Twice a week, sometimes more
Pets: They have a Shi Tzu/mini poodle mix named Lulu. He’s almost 4.
Favorite Vacation Spot: Both of them would love to explore Europe.
Anniversary Gift: The best anniversary would be to go on vacation together -- maybe to somewhere fun like Vegas or somewhere relaxing with a beach.
Spend the Weekends: They visit Kevin's parents, get together with their friends, see movies, and take the dog to the park.
On Weeknights: Usually they’re both tired from work, so they eat dinner, lounge, and watch their favorite shows (or catch up on DVR shows). Sometimes they go to the gym together too.
