Emily E. Gonzalez ’21 and Justin F. Gonzalez ’21
Emily E. Gonzalez ’21 (née Hunter) and Justin F. Gonzalez ’21 married the summer before their junior year. They tied the knot in Niagara Falls, Hunter Gonzalez’s hometown; flew to Maui for their honeymoon; then returned to Boston to settle into married life in their suite in Pforzheimer House.
