Not just once. In more ways than one.
The Beginning We first crossed paths in 2018, and somehow life kept circling us back to each other. Between random check-ins, endless laughs, and a full Money Heist binge (yes, The Professor is the GOAT), the connection never faded. The timing wasn’t always right, but the spark always was. In July 2022, a “casual” dinner turned into hours of conversation until the restaurant closed. That night wasn’t just a date. It was the beginning. The Proposal New Year’s Eve 2024 in Tulum felt like a classic night out, at least to Rashel. What she didn’t know was that Nishant had a plan. A hidden photographer, a glowing “Will You Marry Me?” sign, and a sunset backdrop at Villa Jumanji. Shock turned into laughter, tears, and that unmistakable feeling, the kind that changes everything. Together Nishant Sports fanatic. Social butterfly. Restaurant guru. Blue Moon enthusiast. Rashel Fast cars, country music, cozy vibes, and playlists for everything. Us Thrill + chill. Heart + hustle. Proof that timing is everything.
