OUR STORY
Our Story
​
Almost two years ago, fate and a few mouse clicks brought Ravi and Pooja together. They went from complete strangers to inseparable companions. This is how it all began.
Ravi had just matched into General Surgery residency at Vanderbilt University and Pooja was busy completing her third year of medical school in Iowa. Ravi's uncle and Pooja's aunt had been plotting a match between the two for quite some time now. Who would have known connections in India would change their lives forever.
The two emailed back and forth a couple of weeks before finally deciding to meet in person. Pooja was skeptical of the idea but Ravi was persistent from the very beginning. Pooja and Ravi went on their first date in the city Pooja calls home, Chicago.
That special day led to a whirlwind of dates over the next year from spending a weekend in Boston to watching the Bears play the Packers at Sams (their favorite bar in Nashville) to spending an evening playing ski ball at Dave & Busters.
It was finally time to pop the question and Ravi decided to take Pooja on a surprise vacation to San Jose del Cabo last March. Ravi had planned an extravagant proposal and dinner overlooking the Sea of Cortez. Every detail was meticulously planned out by Ravi from the dress Pooja wore that evening to the exact timing of the sunset proposal. And of course, Pooja said yes!
It was an amazing trip and a story neither of them will ever forget. They are excited to start the next chapter of their life as husband and wife!
