Captivating Couples 2015

All you need is love!

DIANA & INGA
The Bronx, NY
Diana, 35, paramedic
Inga, 33, nurse

Holidays seem to be good luck for Inga and Diana—they met on Father´s Day in 2010 and got engaged the following Christmas. Married since 2012, they recently bought their first home in the Bronx and are finally getting the chance to enjoy it. "We went through a major renovation, which took four months, but now it´s our dream home," says Inga. "We´re looking forward to the first of many holidays here." (GO interviewed the two before Christmas.) In addition to living in the Bronx, they´re engaged with the community there through their jobs. "My wife is a paramedic for the FDNY, stationed out of Jacobi Medical Center, and I work as a registered nurse for Montefiore in outpatient oncology, administering chemotherapy to cancer patients," says Inga. They want to become parents, but had to take a break from trying when house-buying took over; they hope to get going again on that in 2015. In the meantime, the two enjoy spoiling their fur babies: Blackie, a 7-year-old, 40-pound poodle-terrier mix, and Precious, a 5-year-old, 5-pound Chihuahua. Travel is also a fun hobby for the couple and they´ve been to some pretty exotic locales, including Costa Rica, Cancun and the Dominican Republic. Viewing a Facebook photo of the dynamic duo dancing at their wedding, one poster was moved to comment. "Beautiful," she wrote, and we can´t help but second that emotion.
