Sarala and Apoorva first met many moons ago, as awkward pre-teenagers learning South Indian classical music together. Apoorva would spend every Thursday afternoon staring at Sarala, while she completely ignored him. Eventually, after several unsuccessful AIM chat icebreakers that went something like this: NAALLmaster2003: heyyy de13vil91: *crickets* A friendship was born. And that friendship would grow into a relationship, as they briefly dated over the summer before going off to college. Over the years, Sarala and Apoorva kept in touch as friends. One fine summer day in 2017, Apoorva decided to throw the greatest hail mary of all time. He opened his FB chat and typed those five magical letters. “Heyyy”. He invited her to see a J. Cole concert at the Forum, and the rest as they say, is history. A bond that was born out of awkward stares in music lessons and weekend trips to del taco eventually blossomed to withstand whatever pressures they faced - medical school, residency, long distance, a pandemic, and even their frantic golden-doodle puppy Kushi. Please join us August 13, 2022 to witness their union!
