Sometime in November 2017, I first came across Parth's profile on a dating app - Coffee Meets Bagel. He liked me first, so I messaged him with the hope that we would connect. He replied and we started chatting through the app, then on Facebook messenger and eventually on phone/texts. We chatted and talked over the phone for over a month (since he was traveling to India) until we could finally meet in person. In January 2018 we met at a restaurant called Olives in Mankato, MN. We had and instant connection and I felt like I have known him forever. We met as often as the snowy Minnesota winters would allow travel. When I visited him in Austin and it was then I felt that this could really turn into something very meaningful. By May 2018, I graduated and got a job offer from Kasasa in Austin. So I moved to Austin but around the same time, Parth started talking to a recruiter from Google and went through the interview process. He received an offer from Google and unfortunately, the position was only available in their Sunnyvale, CA office. So, he accepted it and decide to move to California until something opened up in Austin. Since then, we continue to meet once or twice every month on weekends, holidays and special occasions like birthdays. On February 18th, 2019 he proposed to me in Austin, TX in my apartment in the presence of our close friends and his sister. I said yes! It was a complete surprise for me and a very emotional moment for the both of us. Since then we have built a beautiful home in Round Rock, TX that we share with our cat, Hazel. The past years have been quite a journey filled with many twists and turns. But I can't imagine spending it with anyone other than Parth! We are very excited to start this lifetime of a journey together and would love you to be a part of it!
