Anup saw Divya for the first time in 2014 as students at Green Hope High School. He says that the first time he saw her in the hallways, he knew Divya was special. Little did he know she would feel the same way about him 3 years later. Their lives crossed paths again when they started college at UNC Chapel Hill. They became best friends and spent every day together. One of their favorite activities was playing pool against each other. Whenever Anup won a game, he would ask for a favor from Divya as a prize to ask for another day. By 2017, it was clear that they both adored each others company and valued each others friendship. On May 12, 2017, Anup asked Divya for two favors. That they would firstly always stay the best of friends for the rest of their lives. Second, if they could start a relationship together. She excitedly said yes and admitted she had been waiting for him to ask her. Thereafter, they supported each other through the challenges of medical school, long distance while Anup worked in Wisconsin, and more. Neither of them could imagine life without the other. On March 29th, 2022, Anup proposed to Divya on a summit at Yosemite National Park. We cannot wait to celebrate the start of our marriage with you all!
