Victoria was wrapping up her first year of her MBA at Auburn University, preparing for a summer internship in Ohio before returning to the South to finish school and pursue her career. At the same time, Meekha was at a turning point, deciding whether to transition from consulting to a full-time role at Sensience. Both were making big career moves in May 2023, unaware of how beautifully their choices would intertwine their lives. Victoria joined Sensience as a Product Manager intern, while Meekha officially accepted an FP&A manager position. Though working at the same company, their paths didn’t immediately cross—until one day, as Victoria waited outside her boss’s office for a delayed meeting, Meekha sitting outside of the office, struck up a conversation with her. Time flew by as they talked effortlessly. However, when later leaving her bosses office, Victoria mentioned her brother’s wedding, Meekha misheard and thought she was getting married! A month passed before they met again. Victoria had been busy celebrating her sister’s high school graduation, her brother’s wedding, and traveling through Greece. Meanwhile, Meekha had been adjusting to his new job, making the transition from Dallas to Ohio, and taking his own vacation in Spain. But in July, once Meekha was fully settled, he knew he had to find Victoria again. After searching the office, he found her at her desk. They reconnected over her Greece trip, and Meekha realized she must not have gotten married and mentioned a fantastic local Greek restaurant. The next day, he sent her a message asking if she had lunch plans. Though she declined at the time, his invitation lingered in her thoughts. At the end of July, Victoria had an assignment for Auburn that required her to interview a professional about their career. She figured this was her chance to get to know Meekha's heart better. They scheduled their conversation for July 27th; however, instead of sticking to the assignment, they quickly became immersed in deeper discussions about their shared values. During their conversation, a coworker passed by and casually mentioned that Meekha would be heading back to Dallas the next day and wouldn’t return until the end of September. Without thinking, Victoria blurted out, “Wait, so we’re never going to that Greek restaurant you mentioned?” Without hesitation, Meekha replied, “What are you doing right now?” And just like that, their first date began. They sat at the Greek restaurant, talking until it closed, then continued their conversation in the city square for hours. It felt like something straight out of a romantic movie—bittersweet, as they both knew this could be their last time together. Victoria had just two weeks left in her internship, and Meekha was flying back to Dallas the next morning. Then, the Lord intervened. The very next day, Meekha texted Victoria with shocking news—his boss was putting in his 2 weeks and needed Meekha to travel back to Ohio, perfectly aligning with Victoria’s remaining internship. Overjoyed, they spent every second of those two weeks together. From that point on, there was no turning back! Fast forward to November 9, 2024—on a picturesque sailboat gliding across Lake Grapevine in Dallas, Meekha got down on one knee. He had planned the proposal of Victoria’s dreams, incorporating one of her loves: sailing together. That wasn’t the only surprise! He had arranged for her family and two of her best friends from Auburn to be there to celebrate along with his friends and family. The evening was perfect, filled with prayer over the couple, heartfelt toasts, and immense joy. Their love story is nothing short of a fairytale, and they cannot wait to begin this next chapter together with the people who mean the most to them.
