We had always known of each other growing up, but it wasn’t until a Rakshabandhan call with my cousin that we actually spoke in 2018. She was in a traditional red dress with jhumkas and a bindi, and I had my “chaand-baliya” moment right there. A year later, when I visited Toronto, we finally met in person and instantly clicked—the conversations flowed effortlessly, and what began as occasional chats soon turned into daily ones. Somewhere along the way, we realized it wasn’t just coincidence—we fit together perfectly, like two pieces of a puzzle, and found home in each other. What came next were three years of long distance—airport hugs, teary goodbyes, and hopeful reunions—but through it all, we grew closer in ways only distance can teach. - Arch

On one of the snowiest days in Toronto, Arch had planned a surprise. He told me we had a photography session, and I wondered why he suddenly cared so much about my nails and outfit—it was so unlike him! After an outdoor shoot in the snow, he suggested we continue at a studio. When I walked in, the room was beautifully decorated with flowers, candles, and a glowing heart. Arch was waiting there, music playing, ready to ask me the most important question of our lives. The moment I said yes, our families and loved ones, who had been secretly hiding, rushed out to celebrate with us. We cut cake, popped champagne, and danced the night away—turning a snowy evening into the warmest memory of our lives. - Evanshi
