While we've known each other since the age of 4 and 6, secretly crushing on each other throughout our childhood, our story begins on March 28, 2009. It all began with a plate of aloo vada, yes, you read it right, aloo vada! My mom had made some for khane that day, with extras for my now mother-in-law and it was my job to make sure they made it to her. I saw Salman after khane and handed him the plate. In a very cheesy attempt to flirt, he said "You helped your mom make these, they must be terrible then." I laughed, went home, and like every kid in 2009 opened up facebook to see what my friends were up to. Green dot next to his name, typing bubbles on facebook chat, message sent….Salman Sajwani: “I like your yellow balls” I was shocked, until I realized that he was referring to the aloo vadas (insert girl with hand on her face emoji here). Another poor attempt at flirting by yours truly. Sana Ali: “Not sure how to respond to that, but thanks.” Screen shut, butterflies in my belly, I went to bed. That was the first of many strings of messages over the next 7 months. Months of getting to know each other and countless heart to hearts on facebook chat and AIM (yep, we’ve been together since AIM was thing!) brings us to October 6, 2009. brutesal: “So, are we official?” cuetlilprincess: “Are you finally asking me to be your girlfriend, yes! :)” That was the easiest “yes” of my life, until March 23, 2019. Almost 10 years to the date since our first conversation, when the love of my life asked me to marry him. 10 years, 3 moves, 2 college degrees, 1 puppy, and countless memories later, here we are getting ready to finally say “I do!” We’ve gotten to know so many family members and friends together along the way, and if you know us at all, you know how excited we are to celebrate this new chapter with each one of you, so let the party begin!
