Like all great love stories, ours began with a “few”drinks and two very loud family members. After a fun night out, Tejal and Aashish had a moment that quickly turned into “wait, this is actually genius.” And just like that, they appointed themselves as instant matchmakers. (Watch out Sima Aunty) Soon after, Pratik bravely slid into Pooja’s texts, and what started as casual conversation quickly turned into something much deeper. The messages got longer, the laughs got louder, and the connection was undeniable. Our first date happened Thanksgiving weekend - because nothing says romance like carbs and competition. We grabbed Thai food and then headed to mini golf, where we learned two very important things: 1. We really liked each other. 2. Pratik is the mini golf champion. (Although, Pooja remembers this differently) From that moment on, our connection only grew stronger. More dates, more laughs, and a whole lot of love later, Pratik popped the question on July 5th, and Pooja said yes (surprise!). Now we’re getting married, officially turning a drunken idea, a brave first text, and a mini golf rivalry into a lifetime of love, laughter, and choosing each other every single day. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you 💕✨
