We first met in Washington DC in the midst of COVID. While we knew there was chemistry on our first date climbing the Washington National Cathedral, Shru was leaving for London a few months later, so we thought nothing much would come of it. Still, we kept in touch and developed a friendship despite the distance. Shru even set Chris up on a blind date with her friend from DC at one point! Luckily for us, that did not work out and a year later Chris serendipitously moved to Cambridge, England for a research job. Our first date in London felt effortless, with conversations flowing endlessly. Shru was drawn to Chris’ insatiable curiosity and quiet confidence, while Chris admired Shru’s strong but reflective convictions and passion for life. Soon after our first date, we began exploring the UK and the world together, falling more in love with each adventure. Chris proposed after we climbed Mount Toubkal in Morocco, and now, we are beyond excited to celebrate our wedding with you. We can’t wait to see you in India!
