In March 2012, during his senior year of high school, Richie made an attempt to befriend Hema on Facebook, which eventually led to their first in-person meeting. In the following months, these two virtual friends started spending time together.

The couple stood by each other's side, navigating the challenging paths of adolescence and self-discovery. With one another for mutual accountability, they both made significant strides, ultimately landing their dream jobs in healthcare as Orthopedic Surgery PAs.

Now, over a decade in the making, we cannot wait to celebrate the culmination of our love story with you in June 2024!
