Ronak and Krishna met through a dating app over 5 years ago called Coffee Meets Bagel. Her cousin had met her husband on the app years prior and convinced Krishna to put herself out there! At the time, Krishna was attending medical school in Chicago and eagerly waiting to find her Mr. Right. On the other end, Ronak was working in Illinois and was ready to find his future wife. Little did they know, their soulmate was right around the corner! Once Krishna and Ronak matched and started talking to one another, they both knew it was something special. When they finally met in person, there was definitely an undeniable spark!

Ronak grew up in the Chicago suburbs and Krishna grew up in Michigan, yet they had many mutual friends-so they were bound to bump into each other at some point. Ronak and Krishna come from very similar backgrounds and values which helped them understand each other better! After a year or so of dating, they found out that Ronak’s grandparents and Krishna’s great uncle (a grandfather figure to her) were great friends back in India. Krishna’s great uncle actually attended Ronak’s parents’ wedding!! When they found this out, they knew it was a sign from the universe that they were meant to be!

After being together for 3.5 years, Ronak asked Krishna to marry him in the most romantic way! As for many others, 2020 was a year of many changes and uncertainties. Krishna and Ronak have been in a long-distance relationship as Krishna complete her residency in Ohio and Ronak works in Chicago. Krishna had a weekend off in early August and decided to visit Ronak. Little did she know, it was going to be one of the most memorable weekends of their life! Ronak convinced Krishna that his sister was having a housewarming party and they needed to pick up food from downtown before heading over. As they were walking around downtown, Ronak suggested they stop and grab a drink at the London House Rooftop. As they got ushered to the rooftop, Krishna noticed that there were other people on the patio and a guy casually sitting on the couch right by them. Krishna quickly thought to herself that there is no chance he’d propose with other people around and dropped the idea. Well was she wrong! Krishna turned a corner and there it was! A pathway of pink roses leading the way to the dome-shaped cupola overlooking the most beautiful city. As Ronak and Krishna walked towards the center, he got down on one knee and asked Krishna the easiest question ever- will you marry me! Through all the happy tears Krishna didn’t even realize that the guy that was sitting on the couch earlier was actually their photographer! The surprises continued as Ronak knew how important it was for Krishna to celebrate this moment with her family and friends. As they both arrived at Ronak’s parents home, there was a special surprise waiting for Krishna. As they walked in, both of their family and friends were waiting to celebrate with us! Due to COVID, there were many restrictions but with the help of their families- Ronak and Krishna were able to enjoy the evening celebrating with their closest family and friends! August 1st, 2020 will be a day we will always remember!
