We’re on day three of 14 Days of Cute Campus Couple. It’s come a little late, but tonight we have a very geeky couple here for you. Our very own Ileana Melendez, an amazing Wonder Woman cosplayer, and her boyfriend, Christian Diaz!

Take a look down below to see these cute faces!

 

Cute Campus Couple

Ileana Meléndez & Christian Díaz  

 

How’d you two meet?

IM: At El Ocho. It was a whole EO in training group that my friend was in and she invited me to tag along for lunch!

CD: Through a mutual friend, (shoutout to Mara).

 

How long have you been together?

A year and a month.

 

What was the first thing you noticed about each other?

IM: His rosy cheeks, and how he looked like a really cute garden gnome.

CD: She had a BIG pair of shades on.

 

What makes your relationship work?

IM: I think it’s that despite how different we are, we love each other more than that difference, and we have that in common.

CD: Trust and mutual love for Corgis.

 

One word to describe your partner.

IM: Attentive.  

CD: Insightful.

 

Do you have Valentine’s Day tradition?

IM: We don’t really have one yet! We always go to the movies, though. Last year our date was to see Lego Batman, and this year we’re seeing Black Panther, so for sure a movie night is involved.

Movie dates will forever be a foolproof idea for Valentine’s Day. Loving Cute Campus Couples or want to be a part of it? Then let us know on Twitter!

Antoinette Luna is a Performance Studies and Comparative Literature major at the UPR. Her passions include writing, reading, and anything crafty. She loves to sew, write, and make things from scratch. DIY is the name of her game. Around campus, she is known as a bubbly young woman who goes by just Luna. Her future goals include traveling, traveling, and more traveling. Outspoken transfeminist, and wannabe activist, she's out to set fires.
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Josie is a senior in the UPR-Río Piedras campus, majoring in English Literature. When she's not on campus, you can find her browsing a bookstore (as if her TBR pile isn't big enough already!). Books and writing are what drives this girl--apart from fighting to destigmatize mental illnesses and raising awareness about the importance of consent. Josie enjoys traveling, bingeing on spicy food and a lot of sweets, blasting Bieber, and adding shows or movies to her Netflix queue that she'll never get to. Josie is a junior editor for the Rio Piedras chapter in Puerto Rico. If you want to see what else Josie is up to, you can catch her on her bookstagram.
