We met through a common friend in search of free food. We continued meeting, loved each other's company, and the search for food never stopped. We kept our hunger, Oops! our love burning through the pandemic and finally decided to take the plunge.
We traveled 11,000 km from San Francisco to Turkey to make it happen. This was a holiday trip to explore Turkey and try good food for me. However, Shreyas had different plans, some very serious life plans! We had booked an early morning tour to see the scenic view of hot air balloons taking off. Little did I know, my life would take off at that very moment. (cheesy but true!). At dawn, when the sky was filled with the balloons in the air, Shreyas gave the most heart-touching speech. In the picturesque backdrop, he went down on one knee and popped the question. I couldn't stop crying out of happiness and said "Yes" louder in my heart than out loud! We were engaged!
