Q + A

Soumi and Zach first crossed paths in a crowded dorm room at Lincoln Tower in 2011. That night, they played a game of pong, exchanged facebook profiles, and went about their nights. Little did they know that their paths would cross again, over a decade later.

How We Met (the prequel)

Fast forward to August of 2022, Zach had recently returned to Columbus after completing Medical school at University of Cincinnati and Residency in Baltimore, MD. He opted to come back to his alma mater, OSU, to finish the last leg of his education as an Anesthesiology fellow. In the meantime, Soumi continued her education at OSU, where she completed her Masters in Nursing and started working as a Nurse Practitioner at a local hospital. Zach and Soumi lived less than two miles from each other at the time, and as fate would have it, they crossed paths for the second time..... on a dating app. The two immediately recognized each other from that one night in 2011. Conversation came easy - there was so much to catch up on! They decided to get dinner the following week. Their first dinner together was ambiguous. Was it a friendly catch up? Was it a date? Neither knew, but they both went home that night knowing that they wanted to see each other again. Over the next couple of weeks, the two would find themselves texting each other when they woke up, in between cases at work, and before they went to bed. They eagerly awaited the next time they could see one another. On September 15th, 2022, Zach and Soumi went on their first, official date and began their relationship. At the end of his fellowship year, Zach chose to stay in Columbus to pursue his career as an Anesthesiologist and build roots with Soumi. Over the past two years, the two have built a life together with countless memories, numerous travels, life long friendships, and a very exciting future!

How We Met (the second time)

On July 28th, 2024, Zach asked Soumi to marry him in Schiller Park, where they have shared some of their fondest memories including saying "I love you" for the first time. The two routinely took walks around Schiller Park, discussing their future and winding down after long workdays. On that particular Sunday evening, Zach and Soumi took a walk through Schiller Park to go to a nearby restaurant. It was on this walk that Zach asked for Soumi's hand in marriage and the two were engaged!

The Proposal

Well, the wedding, Of course! We are so excited to celebrate our special day with you, our closest friends and family! We look forward to building our future, where we hope to keep chasing our ambitions together, continue to travel around the world, create new memories with our friends and family, host tons of game nights, and take daily walks around Schiller Park. See you at the wedding!

What's next?
