Sheetal and Prashant met in 2013 on a blind date set up by their mutual friend Jessica Shillington. Prashant had moved from Toronto to attend graduate school at the University of Alberta, and Sheetal had been working as a registered nurse. They hit it off immediately and have been together ever since. On March 17, 2018, Prashant proposed to Sheetal with a 'reverse-surprise': Sheetal had been planning a surprise 30th birthday party for him, but he upturned those plans by proposing before the party and turning it into an engagement celebration instead! Prashant completed his PhD in 2018 and moved to Portland, Oregon in January 2019 to begin a new job at Intel. Sheetal is completing her graduate nursing program in August 2019 and will be joining Prashant in Portland after the wedding!
