In the unlikeliest of circumstances and having come from different parts of the world with different cultural heritages, we first crossed paths at the Telluride House in Ithaca, NY while we were both students at Cornell. While we were students, we were best friends who did everything together from hosting movie nights to serving as co-leads of the Telluride House’s governing committees. Over the years, our friendship blossomed into romance as we shared not only similar values but also an appreciation for one another’s unique personalities, cultures, “punny” senses of humor, voracious appetites for food (and life), and more. We look forward to starting our next chapter together near the very place we met and thank you for the important role you’ve played in our lives to bring us to this point.
