The One With Our First Date

Initially a date, then a birthday celebration

Akshay's and Joyce's love story began in the digital realm of Tinder, where their paths crossed in a serendipitous swipe. Joyce suggested The Cheesecake Factory for their first meeting, despite Akshay's reservations about the location. (Joyce later discovered that The Cheesecake Factory was not Akshay's style at all! Anyone who knows him understands this.) Despite his initial hesitation, they found themselves sharing laughs and cheesecake. It was during this first date that Akshay's curiosity led to the discovery that it was Joyce's birthday. Sparked by the excitement of celebrating Joyce's birthday, they ventured to NYC. There, they effortlessly connected over cocktails and conversation in a speakeasy bar called Patent Pending, deepening their bond. Fueled by a shared sense of adventure, they agreed to go on a trip together just three days after their initial date. They embarked on a spontaneous road trip to Miami. As strangers at the outset, they set out on a journey and returned as inseparable partners. Exactly one year later, Akshay surprised Joyce with a ring! The proposal was beautiful—Akshay knelt on a yacht nestled in the azure waters of Miami, where their love story had truly begun. Throughout their journey together, their lives intertwined with laughter, love, and endless adventures. Their connection continues to grow stronger with each passing day.
