On a chilly winter night in 2021, we met at a cocktail bar in Philadelphia for our first date. We chatted about the holidays, our favorite restaurants, and our love for the city. On the walk home, we both felt a mix of comfort and excitement. Over the next few weeks, as we learned more about each other, we knew we found something truly special.

Mike took Risha to Rittenhouse Square, a park in the heart of Philadelphia and a place the couple visited frequently in the past. This visit, however, was different! Mike's parents were there to capture the moment when Mike knelt down on one knee and asked Risha to marry him. Risha's family was waiting at a nearby wine bar with a toast, ready to celebrate with the couple!
