WE CHANGED THE DATE!! 10/10/2020
Love
Our
story, which we think is the best almost didn't happen! Prerak
postponed our first date for a "genuine" reason of being lazy
and not wanting to leave the house due to rain. Well, his funny &
persistent nature made me give him another chance and we went out on St.
Patrick's Day 2018 for some green beverages. We couldn't stop laughing and we
danced the night away. He asked me million questions about everything
including how I felt about two weddings!! We both got along very
well due to our witty humor and friendly banter.
We
began to realize how much we liked each other but had some hurdles to get
over. For example, Prerak being afraid of Audrey (she might kiss him to death!) and his parents possibly not accepting me because I am white
girl from America. :)
Fast-forward
to June 2019, Prerak proposed to me in the most romantic and surprising way with my
close friends and family present. (We clearly made it over those hurdles, but he still doesn't want Audrey to kiss him).
We can’t wait to share our happily ever after
with all of you in California!
