We first met in September 2021 on a beautiful, fall day on Chicago's Riverwalk. What was supposed to be a seemingly simple coffee date, initially planned for an hour, unfolded into a nearly five-hour long conversation where we shared our interests, passions, and dreams. We quickly realized over the course of those few hours that this was something very special. Since our first date, it's been a wonderful journey together. From getting closer with each other's friends and families, to celebrating birthdays, career achievements, and unconditionally supporting each other through all of life's ups and downs. On January 14th, 2023, on a cold winter day, we got engaged on Chicago's Lake Front trail. This was followed by a traditional Hindu engagement ceremony this past summer where we received endless amounts of love and blessings from our family and friends. We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with all of you on May 17th, 2024! Love, Varsha and Raghav
