Emily Franks (CMN ’15) & José Pauletto (CDM ’15)

Emily says: Just over three years ago, José and I met at Annette’s for ice cream, for our first date. We had matched on Tinder, and I was intrigued to meet this Brazilian international student. At first I thought it would just be a casual relationship and an opportunity to get to know him and other Brazilian students studying at DePaul for the year, but it turned into so much more. José officially proposed to me this past New Year’s Eve on the beach in Brazil, and we are getting married this summer in my hometown in Michigan!
