Pooja is a Jersey girl who ended up in Boston for school, not expecting to find THE ONE. Ankit is a die hard New Englander, who never expected to leave Boston for THE ONE. Who would have guessed, these two would be together?

What started off as friends hanging out in Boston and enjoying the summer, quickly turned into something more. The recipe for their story was: Ingredient 1: Papa John's Pizza Pooja was extremely hungry one day after rotations. Ankit insisted she wait for him to eat. Little did she know, Ankit would show up at her doorstep with her favorite: a hot Papa John's cheese pizza. Ingredient 2: Lagunita's Beers Pooja wanted to hang out with Ankit, so she used the excuse of leftover Lagunita's to invite him over and it worked! Ingredient 3: The First Call After weeks of texting, Ankit thought it was time to initiate the first phone call. Although Pooja was nervous, she was eagerly waiting. Ingredient 4: Determination Although they were living 5 hours apart, both were determined to keep getting to know each other! The rest of the ingredients are yet to come...

Pooja and Ankit were excited they finally had a free weekend to hang out in Philly. Ankit had mentioned his brother and wife were coming to visit, but Pooja was really hoping for a quiet weekend. So the morning of, Pooja was taking her sweet time getting ready because she wasn't interested in the plans Ankit had made. Meanwhile, Ankit was anxiously pacing around hoping she wouldn't be late. Eventually, they headed over to the Independence Visitors' Center where "they were meeting some friends for a charity event." As they walked out onto the balcony, Pooja saw the flowers and candles and her initial reaction was "are we in the wrong place?" Then Ankit slickly grabbed his blazer which had the ring box in it, and that is when Pooja realized what was happening. She burst into tears while Ankit took her hand, and in that moment all their friends and family came out and surprised her. Pooja cried even more as she watched Ankit get down on one knee and pop the question "Will you marry me?". Of course, through her tears, Pooja said "YES!".
