In the Fall of 2007, we were both excitedly moving into Race Street dorms to start our undergraduate careers at Drexel University. As fate would have it, we were both moving in at the same time, our families parked their cars next to each other, and we saw each other in the elevator as we dragged our belongings to our respective floors. Our families started talking to each other as they guarded the cars and quickly decided that the two of us should be friends. Similar to any recent high school graduate's response, we balked at these suggestions to our families. "Mom, NO!" Little did we know, that we would become friends that very night and that this friendship would soon blossom into a relationship. Together, we both graduated from Drexel and started our respective graduate degrees, which subjected us to years apart in different cities. However, the distance became surmountable with drives between Philadelphia and Maryland and google hangouts. In December 2017, Paco (Karthik) proposed in an elevator highlighting the start of our relationship and how far we'd come. This being after he found the longest elevator ride in the city of Philadelphia. And then we were united again in Philadelphia as we prepared to set out on a new adventure together. Now, we are excited to celebrate another beginning with all of you and can't wait to see you on that dance floor! Cheers!
