We met on Tinder (not very romantic, we know), and quickly hit it off. While Jared was in San Antonio, we texted back and forth. Once Jared moved, we started hanging out and quickly became best friends! We spent many hours together watching movies, listening to music, and learning more about each other.
Jared proposed on the beaches of Sri Lanka. The same beaches Romali's parents grew up going to. We spent the rest of our engagement in Sri Lanka surrounded by family and friends. We were there for the last moments of Romali's achchi's (grandmother's) life, and got to spend those precious moments with her.
Jared and Romali first met on Tinder in May of 2020. We were navigating a global pandemic and found company texting each other. Jared moved to Dallas in June of 2020, and we started seeing each other. We spent lots of time in Bishop Arts, where Jared was living at the time. We started officially dating on November 14, 2020 (the wedding date!). Jared began spending lots of time with Romali's family and became very close with them! We first moved in together July of 2022 with our family of 3 cats. We enjoy trying new food and traveling together! We recently bought our first home together in the Carrollton area in September of 2024 and have been loving it!
