Things to Do

Registry

India and Phie met at  Wesleyan University in Connecticut. We both joined Wesleyan’s fire spinning troop, Prometheus, our freshman year in the fall of 2018.

How We Met

India and Phie started dating Junior year (the covid year on campus) in 2020. Phie’s roommate Tyler was having an outdoor gathering, and this happened to be the night RBG died and a night when India had had a few cocktails. Long story short, India cried about RBG and Phie was very sweet about it. India started flirting with Phie at the party, and the next morning asked Phie on a date.

How We Started Dating

In the summer of 2022, we graduated from Wesleyan. That fall, we moved into our first apartment together in Cambridge, MA so Phie could get their Masters at MIT. 

Moving in Together

After Phie graduated from MIT, we decided to move back to the Philly suburbs where India grew up. 

Moving to Pennsylvania Together

In January of 2024, we adopted our two beautiful cats Mona Lisa (Mo) and Vinny, named after the movie My Cousin Vinny. They were born to feral parents in a vacant lot in Philly, and are very happy to be spoiled indoor cats.

Starting a Furry Family

We got engaged on a canal boat in Amsterdam in June 2024. Phie wears the literal pants in the relationship, so they proposed. But India wears the metaphorical pants, so she’d already designed her ring, booked the wedding venue, guessed when the proposal would happen, and picked the dress she wanted to get engaged in.
