Alan Tsao, B.S. '11, and Sonya Sadjadi Tsao, B.S. '11, M.A. '13, J.D. '17, were married on July 10, 2015. Alan is currently pursuing his MBA at UB while following his passion for creating watches as the owner of Tsao Baltimore, a new line of luxury watches.
"Sonya and I have actually known each other since Middle school. I guess you can say that UB brought us a lot closer! We're both very excited now that she’s finished law school and the watch company is fully launched. We can finally relax to an extent and possibly do some traveling. We're planning to go to China in October, Hong Kong in December for a wedding, and maybe Paris in 2018. We both are huge foodies, so finding new food spots and adventures is definitely in our future plans."
Michael Azen, B.S. '10, M.A. '14, married Ally Teaford on May 20 at the Maryland Zoo. A year prior, they did their engagement photos. "We went to 14 different locations around Maryland, from Baltimore to the Eastern Shore. It took two days to complete and we drove over 700 miles," says Azen. "All of the locations we went to were very meaningful to us—of course, one of our stops had to be UB!"
