Anu and Larry have a mutual friend who was wise enough NOT to try and set them up. The first time they met they actually didn't meet at all. They were at another mutual friends place celebrating July 4 with food and games. (Anu was very competitive while playing games and that caught Larry's attention. He thought to himself, "What is up with this girl playing like there are sponsors out here?") At this time, they were both in relationships that thankfully ended shortly after their first encounter. Once their relationships ended they were both quite done with this game they call "Dating". Their paths would cross again at yet another mutual friends gathering but this time only a brief conversation resulted. Anu invited Larry to her 30th birthday party after their brief conversation but Larry unfortunately never showed up.

Fast forward a few weeks later, Larry started conversing with their mutual friend about Anu. This mutual friend gave Larry a 5 star review (yelp, google, etc...) and together they formed a plan on how they could meet. Of course, Larry being a Rockets fan organized a group outing to an early season game. They engineered it so that Anu would sit next to Larry at the game and she even rode in his car with the mutual friend. It was Anu's first NBA game and she had a great time. The Rockets beat the Grizzlies that night so obviously Larry had a great time too.

The PROPOSAL
Larry decided to recreate their very first date without Anu's knowledge. He told her that they were going downtown to take pictures so she needs to dress up. They went out to eat at The Suya Hut. (They actually hadn't been back their since their first date). They left for the park with Anu still expecting to go downtown. Anu started to enjoy the view of the park and turned around to see Larry on a knee with a gorgeous ring asking for her hand.

Soon after the game Larry and Anu began talking to each other on the phone and here they are getting married on October 24, 2019.
