During a beautiful weekend in January 2021, Shrineal made his way to Palm Springs to attend a birthday celebration for one of his closest friends. A weekend that would change his life forever!

Rachel was also in attendance and it was not long after their initial introduction he asked for a date.

Overwhelmed with excitement and eager to impress, Shrineal prepared accordingly making reservations at multiple restaurants for Rachel to choose from. Being a lover of good food and optionality, she took this as a promising sign of courtship. Lucky for Shrineal, the first date was a success and he was able to proceed to the next round.

Following their second date (the very next evening!), Shrineal led with confidence and charm to convince Rachel of a more spontaneous location for date #3, a weekend in Hawaii. Rachel, known for being wise and sensible, was flattered but apprehensive of such a strong gesture so soon. However, Rachel and Shrineal had many mutual friends, and he had received lots of positive reviews - some may say responsibly vetted - by Rachel’s inner circle. Turns out Rachel was also in need of a vacation so she packed her bags and made her way to the big island.

Needless to say this was the beginning of many more trips and memories they would create together. Fast forward to July 28th, 2023, Shrineal sealed the deal with a beautiful proposal on Venice Beach.
