Parth and Neema met at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) their freshman year in 2012. They met each other through mutual friends. During their junior year of college, they took an anatomy and physiology course together and ended up as lab partners. They started spending more time together and their friendship grew as they became best friends! This marked the start of their love story! In January 2019, Parth surprised Neema and took her to the Palmer House. Neema thought they were attending one of Parth's friends wedding, until she saw the red carpet. Parth took her on a red carpet journey through their memories together. At the end, he got down on one knee and proposed! Later in June, they had an engagement ceremony to celebrate with their close friends and family!
