Come celebrate with us!

Adi, a 35-year-old product manager living in Denver, had always been a free spirit who loved music and cultivating friendships, but had never found the right person to settle down with. He was looking for true love, believing he'd recognize it when it came along. Colleen, a 31-year-old diversity, equity and inclusion consultant, was everything Adi wasn't—organized, ambitious, and fiercely independent. After focusing on her career, freezing her eggs, and taking time to understand what she truly wanted in a life partner, she decided to give dating another chance. When they connected online, this musically inclined polyglot with a Northwestern degree immediately caught Colleen's attention. After exchanging a few messages, Adi asked her out for dinner and a show, to see Les Misérables. Colleen was impressed by his thoughtfulness and classic romantic gesture. Over dinner, conversation flowed effortlessly. It was during the show, as they sat together taking in the performance, that they both felt something special—a deep connection that seemed to promise a shared future. Recognizing they had found something rare, they quickly became a couple. They were drawn together by the perfect balance of opposites—his warm romanticism complementing her driven nature, her stability grounding his free flowing spirit. Just three months in, Adi was welcomed into Colleen's family at her sister's wedding. Soon after, when Adi needed to be with his mother in her final days as she battled cancer, Colleen joined him in Bangalore. Meeting Colleen brought Anu such peace, knowing that her son had found his life partner and would be loved and cared for. Two years after that first evening at the Buell Theater, their love has only deepened. From a mountain top winter proposal to a cross country move and first time home ownership, their story has just begun.
