And then my soul saw you and it kind of went, “Oh there you are, I’ve been looking for you all my life.” When they say weddings are made in heaven, it’s untrue. It’s made when two people, worlds apart end up in Philly on St. Patrick’s Day. Talk about the luck of the Irish! Brooke’s from Pennsylvania & I am from Delhi. What are the odds that the two of us would connect over food, music, dance, and travel? We harmonized by accident. That’s pretty much when we thought, “Okay. This could be something.” Maybe, it’s true. Weddings are made in heaven.

I had just returned from India and had barely recovered from the grueling 22-hour flight. Brooke picked me up from Dulles Airport and we drove to her parent's beach house in Ocean City. When she went down on her knee, I couldn’t believe it was happening. Through the tears and happiness, I could barely hear her words but it resonated with me. “I know you’ve seen this coming but I want to let you know that I love you & want to spend the rest of my life with you,” I said yes. A hundred years later, it would still be a yes!
