In 2022, Nimisha and Naveen met on Dil Mil, a dating app as dramatic as a Bollywood movie. Naveen was on every dating app known to humanity, while Nimisha treated her profile like an ancient relic, responding at glacial speed. Thanks to a friend’s persuasion (shoutout to Ramsha!), Nimisha agreed to go on a date with Naveen. Naveen, the eternal optimist, took Nimisha on a marathon walk around Philly. It was a lucky day for Naveen because Nimisha was the only one in the whole city who did not know about William Penn's statue looking over Philly. Side note: she was working there for over a year at that point. Naveen got to play tour guide and pretend like he knew about the city. After this historic date, the two agreed to go on more dates. Just as the two were getting to know each other, Naveen left for his military training and became a modern-day Shakespeare, writing letters for five months. One day, Naveen boldly said “I love you,” but Nimisha responded with silence. God's plans for the two trumped the uncertainties and fears. With time and patience, the two found a way to complement each other's lives and feel safe with one another. Throughout their journey, both Naveen and Nimisha believed that God had a plan for them. Despite the 2,552 miles between them, they knew they were meant for each other after reading each other’s letters—Nimisha just took a little longer to admit it. Over the years, the two bonded over shared values for friendship, family, faith, hobbies, and future visions. They found creative ways to stay connected even when they were on two ends of the country. They integrated into each other’s families, gaining new friendships, cousins, siblings, and parents. Pre-Naveen, Nimisha would never have believed their love’s timeline. Fast forward, they are excited to finally start this next chapter and celebrate their love with loved ones!
