Our journey began in middle school. Being part of the same friend circle meant we spent countless hours together, playing games and sharing in all the little moments of growing up.

Through the years, our bond took on different shapes. In college, it meant late nights of ping pong and pool, with plenty of laughter and smiles along the way. When Divya left for medical school, distance added its challenges, but every time she returned it felt like nothing had changed—we picked up right where we had left off. No matter what life threw our way, we always found our way back to each other.

As our relationship grew, it was strengthened through countless shared adventures. Sai had never been much of a traveler, but with Divya by his side he embraced it. Together, we made memories in Puerto Rico, Spain, and Italy. From spontaneous New York City escapes to ordering way too much take-out we could never finish, every experience became more special simply because we were together. It was in those moments, big and small, that we knew we had found the one we were meant to be with.

And then came the biggest trip of all. On a beautiful evening in Florence, Sai got down on one knee and proposed. Surrounded by love, laughter, and a memory they will carry forever, Divya said yes—and their next chapter began.
