In the era of modern romance, Ryan and Sharmila were introduced on the dating app, Bumble. She admired his smile, his curiosity, and of course his devotion to football. He admired her kindness and was happy to hear someone loved football as much as him! Eager to explore NYC, they were excited for their first date at the Queens Zoo in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Alas due to COVID-19, they didn't make reservations in time. Instead, they decided to stroll around the park, learning about one another and even sampling a snack in Flushing's Chinatown. Nearly an entire afternoon later, Ryan didn't really want to say goodbye but Sharmila assured him they'd see each other again. And then they were off to the races...adventuring around NYC together! From hot dogs at Coney Island to the fashion at the MET to strolls through Central Park to Christmas lights at the Bronx Zoo, Sharmila and Ryan realized they were made for each other. Though their professions are challenging, they relish the moments they are able to spend with each other and their families. They even made it back to the Queens Zoo on the weekend they got engaged, after a magical Harry Potter-themed proposal. They are so excited to share their wedding with all of you as they have learned that amidst the hustle and bustle of the big city, genuine love conquers all. Cheers!
Our Wedding Reception will be October 28, 2023 at the American Legion Anderson Post 318
