Our love story began 18 years ago, we first met during our high school freshman orientation. Coincidentally, fate had us together during all of our classes during freshman year, and the guy I thought was a bit obnoxious turned out to be one of my closest friends. Somewhere between classes, weekend hangouts and the occasional house party at the Reddy household, our friendship evolved into something deeper. The summer before our senior year marked the beginning of our romantic journey, and from that moment, there was no turning back. Together, we navigated the challenges of high school, the ups and downs of college, medical school, career changes and residency. Our relationship was strengthened from the resilience that comes from weathering life's storms together. After more than a decade of shared memories and experiences, came the magical day – November 26th, 2021. Kethan orchestrated an impromptu hiking trip to the Stairway to Heaven. Little did I know, my sisters, friends, and family were all in on the plan. There, against the backdrop of breathtaking views, Kethan got on his knees and popped the question that would forever change our lives. Our love story, born in the classrooms of high school and nurtured through the peaks and valleys of life, has reached a new milestone. We're excited to celebrate our union surrounded by our loved ones, the very people who have supported our love story from the beginning to now.
