We met in March 2014 during our senior year of USC. After meeting at the famed 901 Bar and Grill via mutual friends, we ran into each other at the gym. Akshay asked Charlotte out and we went on our first date in Downtown LA. We spent the last few weeks of senior year together, including Charlotte's sorority formal, USC's annual Senior Fountain Run, and the first summer of "post grad" when we coincidentally lived across the street from each other. The rest is history!

After 9 years together, we thought it was probably time to take the next step. While on a leaf-peeping trip to Vermont, Akshay surprised Charlotte on a sunset hike and got down on one knee. Luckily another couple was at the top to take some photos!
