Our story begins in Johns Creek, GA - specifically Mr. Chris' Mathnasium (#IYKYK). Vijay was one of the tutors there to make money tutoring in a subject he loved: Math. Veronica and Angie will have you believe that they bullied Cecilia into liking Vijay, but we can get into that story another time. After getting tutored in Math, Cecilia decided to take it one step further and decided to also be tutored in Physics. From there, she managed to trick Vijay into taking her to his senior prom. They clicked and they were sort of a thing, but nothing official. They wrote each other letters over the summer and then when those dwindled, Vijay crushed Cecilia's heart.

From there, they lived separate lives for a little bit, only rekindling after Cecilia had an unpleasant experience in Peru during one of her study abroad semesters. After getting back, they slowly began talking again, with nothing serious in mind as Vijay was planning on hiking the Appalachian Trail. Then in February 2019, a couple days before he was about to leave, he was offered a Graduate Research position at Georgia Tech, leading to him staying in GA for a bit longer than planned.

On March 30, 2019, Vijay asked Cecilia to be his girlfriend officially in Mary & Tripp's home. From then, they were inseparable. Veronica and Angie will tell you that their obsession with each other might be slightly unhealthy, borderline co-dependent, but that's probably because they're her sisters and have to say something like that.

When Vijay moved out to New Mexico in January 2022, Cecilia stayed back as she was trying to determine the path she wanted to take, but in November 2022, she moved out to New Mexico once her path was determined.

From there, they were a family of three: Vijay, Cecilia, and Moose. Moose, having been an only child didn't adjust well and so on January 7, 2023, Laika joined the family, making them a family of four. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot from each other and were beginning to settle into the New Mexican "way of life" and so, on May 31, 2023, Vijay asked Cecilia to marry him and thus began their first step to FOREVER.

As the journey started, new "life" things began and in September 2023, Cecilia drove to Florida to pick up Elton, making Vijay's original dream of it being just Cecilia and Vijay no longer a possible reality. Now, the new forever is all five of them: Vijay, Cecilia, Moose, Laika, and Elton.
