Inside, we are a matching set. What does melatonin have to do with love?

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: We recently met, about two weeks ago. We both knew within a few days-- this is something special. I'm American, he is Sri Lankan. Neither of us ever expected to be half of an "international" or "interracial" couple. We don't think of it that way.

Now we are navigating a world of race and class perceptions. It's been an eye-opening taste, a crash course in preparing for a lifetime of fighting assumptions. We are both still shocked when we see our skin tones together. We feel like twins on the inside; how can we look so different on the outside? I find myself asking, "Is resemblance only skin deep?"

This shot was taken spontaneously at dinner. The ring is our "couple ring", following Korean dating culture. (I'm a grad student in Korea.) We were grateful for this culture that lets us express the gravity of our relationship without getting engaged... yet.
