"Because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." It all started when Noble's friend Vishnu and Tanya's friend Merin decided to set them up. Merin was visiting her boyfriend Vishnu in Minnesota when she met Noble for the first time. She appreciated how kind and sincere he was and was ecstatic to hear that he was also single. When she got back home to Chicago, she mentioned meeting Noble to her friend Tanya and how she thought they would get along well. After some questions, Tanya was intrigued and agreed to let Merin give Noble her number. The initial texting between the two could be described as easy and fun. Not only did they have a lot in common, but also genuinely enjoyed talking to each other. Over time the texts became phone calls, the phone calls became video calls, and eventually they knew they had to meet in person. Noble made the trip down to Chicago and thankfully their in person dates were just as great as their virtual ones. After a few months of long distance dating, Noble packed his bags and moved from Minneapolis to Chicago so the two could be closer together. Their connection only grew and they knew they wanted to spend forever together. On July 25th 2024, on a trip to Minnesota, Noble surprised Tanya by proposing and she said yes! Tanya would describe Noble as her calmest love and Noble would describe Tanya as his whirlwind of joy. We are so thankful God brought us together and are very excited to celebrate our love with you all!
