Once upon a time, in 2020, when the world was forced into isolation by the pandemic, love found its way in the most unexpected places. Inushan, a guy known for his witty memes and obsession with obscure facts, decided to do something bold—he slid into Shana’s DMs on Instagram.

What started as a casual message blossomed into hours of fun, quirky chats that quickly turned into something special. Shana, initially unsure of what to make of this Instagram interaction, soon realized that Inushan was different. He had the kind of charm that made her laugh without even trying. And after weeks of talking, they decided to meet up—over cheesecake, of course. Kerbside, on a cold winter’s night in August 2020, became the scene of their first official date. No fancy dinner, no grand plans—just two people sharing dessert and laughs on a chilly evening.

From that moment, everything felt right. A simple cheesecake date turned into an official relationship on August 9th, 2020. But here’s the twist: for the next year, they kept it a secret. Their families had no idea—just a couple of texting, FaceTiming, and laughing in private. They weren’t quite ready for the interrogation of how did you meet? questions. They were content with their quiet, shared moments.

But as with all secrets, theirs came to light. August 2021—the families found out, and the questions poured in. “Wait, you’ve been dating this whole time?” But despite the awkwardness of the big reveal, their families came around. They saw how happy Inushan and Shana were, and from then on, everything felt just a little bit easier.

In 2024, the moment everyone had been waiting for finally arrived: the families met. Sure, there were a few awkward silences and a whole lot of trying to remember everyone’s names, but in the end, it was perfect.

Then came January 25th, 2025—the day of their traditional engagement. No grand gestures, no getting down on one knee—just a beautiful, intimate ceremony. A priest conducted a prayer, showering them with blessings as they took their first step toward forever. Surrounded by loved ones, Shana and Inushan stood together as they made a promise to each other for a future together.

The very next day, they threw an engagement party that was nothing short of unforgettable. The venue was filled with smiles, laughter, and excitement as family and friends gathered to celebrate this beautiful new chapter in their lives. The entire room was filled with joy, and the night was alive with celebration. And of course, what’s an engagement party without a little liquid courage? The drinks flowed freely, and the stories—both funny and sentimental—continued long into the night.

Then, the big announcement.

With all eyes on them, Inushan and Shana shared the most exciting news of the night: they had set a wedding date! But it wasn’t just any wedding—it would be a destination wedding in beautiful Sri Lanka. The crowd erupted in applause, and the excitement was palpable. Everyone was already planning their flights and wondering how they could score a spot on the beach. The wedding wasn’t just going to be a ceremony; it was going to be an unforgettable adventure.

But through all the celebrations, the one thing that was clear was this: Inushan and Shana were meant to be together. Their journey—full of awkward moments, love, laughter, and some seriously good cheesecake—was only just beginning.

And as they toasted to their future, surrounded by the people they loved most, they knew that this was just the start of a beautiful story, one that would continue to unfold in the sun-kissed beaches of Sri Lanka, and beyond.

The end? Not even close. This was just the beginning of forever.
