We met through a mutual friend of ours – the Internet. In 2016, while Aman was attending pharmacy school in Virgina, Bibek was a few states up completing his residency in Wisconsin. Bored in the Appalachian mountains, she downloaded Dil Mil. She came across Bibek. A handsome guy. A fellow pharmacist. With a profile picture in front of a research poster with an ASHP badge (Nerd Alert!) While she wasn't so interested in the "Evaluation of Prior Authorization Criteria Change for Biological Disease Modifying Anti-rheumatic Drugs" she was interested in him and - after many long texts and phone calls with conversations ranging from pharmacy school and the new Weeknd album to animal welfare and studying for the GMAT, our conversation was never dull. Although we hit it off, being in different states our timing wasn’t right and we went our separate ways while keeping in touch from time to time. Fast forward two years later, Aman graduated and moved back to California and Bibek was now living in Madison working as a professional pharmacist. In the middle of 2018, Bibek decided to move to California and texted Aman to see if they could finally meet. After SO long, in San Francisco they finally did and well you know the rest.
Aman's brother Bikram had been going on and on about taking the family out to dinner. She didn't think much of it (including not painting her nails or bothering to wash her hair that day) Little did she know, after much planning with Harleen and Bikram, Bibek had driven down to Pismo Beach and was awaiting in an ocean front gazebo. Standing there with flowers, candles and a gorgeous ring, he got down on one knee and asked Aman to marry him in front of her family and friends. It was the easiest “Yes” she ever said. After many tears, smiles, & laughs - everyone had a dinner and the Lakers proceeded to win the 2020 NBA finals. It was a glorious and beautiful day
