Meghana and Clay met at her best friend Caitlin's 30th birthday party where Meghana kept finding ways to keep talking to Clay. Once he got the (not so obvious) hint, he finally asked her out for drinks later that week and hit it off! Meghana found out 2 weeks later she was moving to Chicago but Clay thought he would stick around for the rest of the year before she moved. That few months turned into 3 years, and they both moved to a new city in Nashville to start their life together!
Meghana planned on getting married to Clay far before the proposal, but the ring certainly helped seal the deal. On a hot, humid day filled with Sunday Scaries, Clay kept on suggesting things to do that got shot down by Meghana quickly. No way did she want to do a picnic or go to a restaurant when it's 100 degrees and there was food at home. Finally, after watching a pretty crappy movie at the Belcourt, they took their dog Pearl out for a walk and Meghana remembered she had to do her NYT Sunday crossword soon. Clay then slyly slipped over a homemade crossword that asked the big question and she said yes!! It was the perfect day.
