Akash and Damini had always known of each other, but it wasn't until 2020 that a mutual friend officially introduced them. Right from the start, they clicked and felt the beginnings of a strong friendship.

Their first date was one for the books. Akash drove over three hours to pick Damini up and take her to Dreher State Park for a hike. It was an adventure that set the tone for their relationship – full of effort, excitement, and meaningful moments.

The journey wasn't always easy. Akash was deep into his medical school studies for three years of their dating time, while Damini was working as a travel nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, they spent a lot of time supporting one another, building a foundation of love and resilience.

The proposal was nothing short of magical. Akash asked Damini to marry him in a beautiful treehouse Airbnb in Columbia, South Carolina. It was the perfect setting for the beginning of their next chapter.

Together, they enjoy hiking, traveling, and simply spending time with one another. Their relationship is a blend of adventure, support, and unwavering love. They are incredibly excited to continue their journey together, hand in hand, ready for whatever the future holds.
