We met on August 14th, 2016, at Snakes & Lattes in downtown Toronto. We spent some of the time playing games and had lots of fun, but for the majority of the date the games lay ignored because we just couldn’t stop talking for hours. We immediately felt an extraordinary amount of trust and safety in each other’s company and were able to open up right away. We “made it official” and first said “I love you” (something we had both been thinking for a long time but hadn’t dared say out loud before) on October 28th, 2016 at a Halloween party at Hart House (Toronto) dressed as Cinderella and Prince Charming. Since then, our lives and families have become more and more intertwined in a beautiful tapestry. We have fallen more deeply in love with every new thing we learn about each other and every new experience we share. We have shown each other what it means to find your one person in the world — a life partner who will love and support you through anything. We are also so fortunate to have been welcomed by each other’s families with open arms. Now we are so excited that they are going to become one big family! Abhi proposed on October 28th, 2022, on our sixth anniversary, at the picturesque Konzelmann Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Neither of us have the words to describe what a deliriously happy moment that was. Now the wedding is fast approaching! We are over-the-moon ecstatic to make it even more official and celebrate our love with all of you!
