Karina had just moved to Houston when a mutual friend invited her to the birthday party of someone she didn’t know. She didn’t know anyone going but decided to show up anyway. When she arrived, Astitva was greeting guests at the door. He was the birthday boy. As the party buzzed around them, they found themselves talking nonstop in the kitchen, completely losing track of time and bonding over their almost identical taste in music. At one point, Astitva started showing Karina a handshake and forgot to let go. Neither of them seemed to mind. Just a couple of weeks later, a concert was planned featuring the exact kind of music they had bonded over the night they met. The same mutual friend invited Karina with a little behind the scenes coordination by Astitva. That night, they danced and sang the night away, and from then on, they were inseparable. What followed was a relationship filled with adventure and laughter. They love to travel, say yes to new experiences, and find joy in the little moments together. In the spring of 2024, Astitva pulled off the ultimate surprise proposal. He secretly planned everything and even convinced Karina to wear white by telling her they were attending a friend’s event with a white attire theme. She said yes, of course, marking the start of their forever. Soon after, they took a big leap together by moving to New York City for Astitva’s career and starting a new chapter side by side. Today, they continue building a life full of love, gratitude, and shared adventures, always with great music playing in the background. As they celebrate this next chapter, they cannot wait to dance the night away with the people who mean the most to them.
