How We Met

The Algorithm

As millions of millennials, our story is a story written by an algorithm. Or shall we say, our story’s triumph over an algorithm because hey, no algorithm can stop true love :) It gets a bit technical. Stay with us! Soumya was born in 1993 and Dhaval was born in 1988. Based on the year alone, the age gap between both of them is 5 years (4.917 to be exact). Soumya preferred to meet men less than or equal to 4. Meanwhile, Dhaval had no such criteria, duh! Based on the current set of constraints, Dhaval would have never met Soumya (at least mathematically speaking). However, there was hope, a coder’s decision that became our blessing... From Jan 13th to Feb 14th, the app experiences a loophole... more like a time warp... when the age gap between Soumya and Dhaval becomes 4 years (for e.g., 30-year-old Dhaval vs 26-year-old Soumya). It is during this miraculous period, Dhaval’s dating profile was delivered to Soumya’s phone… woohoo! He swiped right. She swiped right. And the rest is history… Long story short, we hit it off right away. Over time, our love for each other has grown stronger. On May 7th, 2022, we are looking forward to taking vows to grow old together and share our journey with you!

The Proposal

Bluebird Alpaca Farm

April 3rd, 2021 Soumya loves alpacas…and who doesn’t? Soumya had tried to take Dhaval to an alpaca farm multiple times without much success. Of course, Dhaval thought he is too cool for alpacas. This doubt became a perfect opportunity for Dhaval to plan a surprise proposal there! He recruited friends and family. As her friends kept her busy petting alpacas, Dhaval & co were hiding in a barn, watching Soumya’s every step… As Soumya took alpacas for a walk in a hidden alley, Dhaval surprised her with a ring. Dhaval got down on his knee and Soumya cried her heart out! As our relationship status changed, friends and family came out of the hiding; we cut the cake and popped a bottle of champagne in celebration! Now, we are ready to change our relationship status one more time, and we will be blessed to have your presence there.
