Dhruti and Ishant's love story began when a mutual family friend delivered Dhruti's contact to Ishant.

He sent a gif of a baby seal sliding into frame saying "Sup?" to get her attention, little did Dhruti know responding back would lead to her falling in love with his humor and charm.

They got to know each other talking throughout the day while working and late into the night but Dhruti couldn't wait anymore to meet him so she asked him to meet for the first time at Atlanta garba. Dhruti immediately found him in the crowd while he kept looking around, but kept her distance to see how good his garba skills were.

When they finally met, after looking into Dhruti's breath-taking eyes he couldn't stop smiling even after leaving garba. Ishant planned their first date/brunch the next morning followed by trying an Atlanta local brewery, where they learned about their many commonalities and Ishant could tell he had started falling in love with Dhruti's caring and lively personality.

The next time the love birds were planning to meet was supposed to be in Charlotte, but Victoria was planning her annual Halloween party which Ishant absolutely could not miss. Dhruti drove down for the weekend and they both spent the night dancing away, spending time with Ishant's closest friends. She immediately felt like she had been part of the family for years even though they were meeting for the first time.

For Dhruti's 25th birthday, Ishant came up to Hickory and later that weekend officially asked Dhruti to be his girlfriend by painting her a picture and getting Dhruti very personal gifts and flowers as beautiful as Dhruti's dreamy eyes.
