Gregory & Archana first met through UCSC's Indian Student Organization in 2008. During a sleepover with her close friend Elisa, Archana mentioned she'd had a crush on Greg. Having befriended Greg at their internship, Elisa egged Archana on. Though Archana made several attempts at getting to know him, Greg remained oblivious. Let's be real, Archana was "tryna holla" and she was getting ready to resign herself to a friendship with Greg when the Heffers (the five amazing women Archana would later live with, joining the Heffer ranks) locked her out of their apartment until she made a move. To make sure Greg was the real deal, Archana had Zahara - one of the aforementioned Heffers - suss him out over burritos. Needless to say, that night was success: Greg proved to be a "catch" (and Greg & Zahara now refer to each other as their twin). Archana's & Greg's courtship lasted nearly 6 months before Greg worked up the nerve to ask her to be his girlfriend, which she agreed to on a specific condition: they take things one day at a time. And they have...which is why it took them nearly 8 years to get the engagement ball rolling.
