Our first date was on October 3, 2019 at Tap Room in Palo Alto. Manasi got there early and was reading a book (Jane Goodall's autobiography) when Michael walked in. We sparked immediately and have been on many adventures big and small since! Somewhere between three broken bones, multiple chaotic apartment moves, countless home-cooked dinners followed by raucous Monopoly Deal games (turns out Manasi is a sore loser!), and several oceanside trips, we decided we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. On July 15, 2022, Michael proposed on the balcony of our apartment in front of an audience of our beloved pond turtles. We are so excited to celebrate with you!
