How We Met

4. 27. 17

We met on the dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel. After some witty banter and expressions of interest for one another, Rebekah all of a sudden stopped replying to Raj. Raj was disappointed, but dating in New York is difficult and he wasn't the smoothest talker over dating apps, so he eventually got over it. A month and a half went by, and, out of nowhere, Raj received another message from Rebekah on the app. Raj was shocked since he thought he had blown his chance with Rebekah, but she had renewed his interest since it actually cost in-app currency (called "beans") to reopen the messaging line on the app. Apparently, Rebekah had gone to Colombia for six weeks! Raj had a second chance, and quickly asked her to meet at a wine bar. Two years later, and here we are!

The Proposal

2. 15. 19

Raj and Rebekah went to Napa for Presidents' Day weekend. Raj had planned on proposing at the first vineyard on their itinerary. He discussed his plan with the vineyard and they assured him the only thing that would derail it was if it rained. Of course it ended up raining that day, and the plan was scratched. But Raj had a Plan B, which was to propose at their Airbnb that had a deck overlooking a beautiful vineyard. After the vineyard, Rebekah and Raj drove to their Airbnb. Raj needed to get her out on the deck, so he said he had gotten a little car sick and wanted to stay outside to get some fresh air. He asked Rebekah to join him. It was still raining, and Rebekah thought it was too cold out, so she refused to come outside. Raj suggested that he wanted company while out there, but Rebekah wasn't having any of it. She said that she would stay inside and provide Raj with her company by talking to him through the window. This is when Raj panicked. He had no Plan C. He had no idea what to do. Then suddenly the sun came out and it created a rainbow. He asked Rebekah to come out to see the rainbow and she said OK. She took pictures of the two of them and sent them to their friends who thought that Raj might have proposed already, but thankfully didn't ruin the surprise. She then put her arm around Raj. Raj had the ring in his jacket pocket, and was certain she could feel it. So he panicked again, and rushed into his proposal speech, which ended up being a bit of a blur. At the end of it, he got down on his knee and proposed. Rebekah finally understood Raj's weird behavior and said yes. If not for the rainbow, Raj might still be out on that deck waiting for Rebekah to come outside!
