We met the summer after freshman year of undergrad in EMT class. We didn’t know we had mutual friends until we later discovered he knew one of my good friends, Shivam. Yet we barely spoke to each other. After the class we lost touch until, three years later when we were at Shivam’s going away party. I captured his interest by puzzling him with endless riddles and word games, but alas we again lost touch. After my medical school white coat ceremony, he messaged to congratulate me and I word vomited stress about med school. He was also in med school and made me feel at ease. Since that day four years ago there hasn't been a day we haven't talked. The summer of our first year in med school was the best summer of our lives. It was the summer we fell in love, and the start of our relationship!

He recreated what HE considers our first date. We ate lunch at Cheesburger in Paradise in Secaucus, NJ. Then made our way to the Hoboken Waterfront. It was raining but he got down on one knee overlooking the water and said, “So...yes?” He didnt even pop the real question! Obviously I said yes, and I guess since he did an amazing job at getting me the perfect ring, I’ll let that slide. 😜
