Alicia Menendez's Married Life
Alicia got married to Carlos Odio on 15 February 2015 after nearly two years of engagement.
She and her husband Carlos had first met at a reception in September 2009 at the National Museum of American History.
Their first impression wasn't so impressive. The reason behind this was, Alicia had phone interviewed her now-husband, Carlos, when Carlos was deputy Latino vote director on the 2008 Obama presidential campaign. At that time, Carlos had refused to answer Alicia's questions out of his work frustration.
Later, their mutual friend, Stephanie Valencia-Ramirez, the deputy chief of staff at the Commerce Department in Washington, managed a connection between them, and the pair had instantly flourished their love life. Eventually, the love affair turned romantic and turned into marital bliss.
