Kritika grew up in Orange County and Parth in San Francisco, so it felt like fate when their paths crossed one summer night in 2019 in San Diego. Ask Parth, and he’ll tell you Kritika made the first move "with her eyes". But ask Kritika, and you’ll hear the real story: Parth danced over with that signature big smile, introduced himself, and gave her the nickname “Kiki", while his friends cheered him on from the sidelines. Whether or not you believe in love at first sight, something undeniable shifted that night in Pacific Beach. The stars aligned, and from that moment on, their story began, one rooted in love, laughter, patience, deep admiration, and an unshakable friendship. From their first date at Din Tai Fung to spontaneous adventures around the world, dreams of raising puppies, and endless Marvel movie marathons, time has flown by, yet every chapter has felt timeless. Fast forward to 2025: it’s a beautiful evening in Santorini, Greece. Parth, with that same big smile, got down on one knee, surrounded by candles, fireworks, and the setting sun. Kritika said yes, with the same look in her eyes from that first night in San Diego. Together, they stepped into their greatest chapter yet: forever.
