Karina and Gautam first met in 2018 through their mutual friends Waqar and Sheena. They did not interact much between 2018 and 2020. Fast forward to summer 2020 and the thick of COVID and they had little else to do but hang out at Waqar and Sheena's house to, among other things, help them prepare for their wedding. Karina and Gautam inevitably got to know each other better. On December 12, 2020, Gautam asked Karina on a date. After the longest 40 minutes of Gautam's life, Karina agreed. On December 18, 2020, Gautam and Karina went on their first date to a restaurant in West Midtown. They have been inseparable ever since. Gautam intended to propose to Karina in April 2023 after convincing Karina that they should go to Paris (Plan A). As many of you know, Gautam doesn't understand how passports work and Plan A was a spectacular failure. Luckily, there was a Plan B and Gautam proposed to Karina in Mexico in front of her family on August 22, 2023. After a lengthy engagement, the happy couple has finally decided to plan a wedding. We hope you will join us at said wedding and have an amazing time!
