Patricia Marielle Guerra Dávila and Dr. Luis Alonso González González were married Aug. 7 at the Manhattan Marriage Bureau. Damaris Rivera, a staff member in the New York City Clerk’s Office, officiated.
Ms. Guerra Dávila, 30, is a news producer at HBO’s “Vice News Tonight,” which is produced in Brooklyn. She graduated from Tecnológico de Monterrey, in Mexico, and received a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia.
She is the daughter of María del Rosario Patricia Dávila of Monterrey. Her mother is the general director of Cambiando Vidas, an organization in Monterrey that teaches people skills that provide economic mobility.
Dr. González, 37, is a third-year ophthalmology resident at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He also graduated from Tecnológico de Monterrey, with a degree in medicine, though the couple didn’t meet until years later. He received a Master of Public Health in biostatistics from Harvard.
He is a son of Angela M. González and Dr. José González Baeza of Chihuahua, Mexico. The groom’s mother is a doctoral student in education at Centro de Desarrollo de Estudios Superiores in Chihuahua. His father retired as a professor of business administration at Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua.
The two met in 2014 at a get-together in Manhattan of mutual friends. Afterward, at 3 in the morning, the bride texted her mother to say, “I met the man I’m going to marry,” while the groom called his parents to say, “I found the one.”
