Once upon a school day in 2013, in Mrs. Pederson’s Earth Science class, fate (and the seating chart) placed Parth right behind Bharti. She was practically giving herself whiplash just to squeeze in a quick chat with this intimidating-but-soft teddy bear in between PowerPoint slides. Our classmates? Oh, they were invested. They egged us on like it was a teen rom-com. We were two hopelessly awkward and shy kids that did our best impression of flirting...which usually meant quiet conversations, lingering looks, and both of us pretending we weren’t totally into each other. It wasn’t smooth. It wasn’t cool. But somehow, it was just right. We hit it off, and the rest, as they say, is history. Filled with inside jokes, long conversations, and the kind of love that never ends. Somehow, from that random seating arrangement back in 2013...here we are.

1) First date? Panda Express, because nothing says high school romance like orange chicken and cream cheese rangoons. 2) Favorite meal together? Taco Bell. It’s less “dinner” and more “lifestyle.” 3) Who's the planner? Well… Bharti’s currently busy putting together this very website! 4) Have you heard of the tickle wars? if you catch us in the middle of a tickle battle, don’t panic, just back away slowly before you become collateral damage!

Our hearts are full of joy as we get ready to celebrate our wedding with the people that we love most. Thank you for all the love and support, we can’t wait to celebrate together! B&P
