Our Story

The short story would be to simply say we met at school,

but the longer story is what you're here for. Shehan sat behind me in class and immediately came off as one of the smartest guys in our Ohio State MBA cohort. What really got me is when he talked about subgame perfect nash equilibriums in Econ—if you know, you know. What we consider to be the beginning of our romance is the required fall break bus trip to Cleveland. Yeah, we were excited about it too.... Regardless, we had to go, and Shehan sat next to me on the trip back, which ended up being almost 3 hours long due to circumstances outside our control. While everyone else was asleep, we gabbed for hours. After that, it was only a matter of time, as things quietly became more romantic: walking me back to my car, grabbing his hand during a group haunted house, calling during my rides home on the city bus. Our first real date was at the end of October when I came over to watch Lord of the Rings, my favorite movie. We knew pretty quickly after that we wanted to get married: everything just felt right. Shehan is the calm strong presence to us, and we never get tired of doing things together. To propose, Shehan somehow rented the same OSU bus we took to Cleveland and asked me to marry him where we first really connected—likely in those very same seats. We're so excited to get married that we couldn't wait, wanting to graduate as a married couple. It would be a blessing to have you spend the celebration with us if you're able to make it. All the best!
