We met in the fall of our junior year at Brown University when we both TA’d for the same class (shoutout to CS33), where we quickly became friends. Fast forward a year later and after a few “is it a date or not” outings, we decided to make it official in November 2019. A relationship that began midway through senior year felt uncertain as we neared graduation, especially considering that Raghu had already accepted a job in NYC while Lisa was heading for Seattle. Nevertheless, we knew we had something special (Raghu even told Lisa he would marry her after 2 weeks of dating!) and we were determined to make long distance work. After two years of JFK <-> SEA flights, daily video calls before bed, and many solved NYT spelling bees, Lisa moved to New York in April 2022! To celebrate, we went to Aska - the first of our many culinary adventures around the city. And in August 2023, during a return visit to the restaurant, Raghu proposed! We’re so excited to spend the rest of our lives together, and so glad we can share these moments with you!
