On December 3rd, 2018, a beautiful connection happened. Destiny brought together two hearts - Jithu and Supriya's. Like any classic tale, the initial conversations were filled with the awkward charm of any desi kids getting to know each other. However, fate had a clever twist in store.

Supriya had a connection to Jithu's world through her friendship with Rosemary, aka' Chinnu. This unexpected tie almost led to an abrupt end to their conversations. But destiny had other plans.

As April unfolded, Chinnu's birthday became the catalyst for a rekindling. A simple Snapchat from Chinnu, featuring Supriya with the caption "Your Babe is here," set the stage for a fresh beginning. Conversations resumed, and soon, day in and day out, night in and night out, their bond grew stronger.

The challenges of conflicting college and work schedules made meeting in person a task. Yet, July brought with it the promise of a meeting at the Syro Church during the perunal. Sadly, despite planning for three days, fate had other plans, and the anticipated meeting didn't happen.

Jithu resigned to the idea of a future meeting at the church perunal the following year. But Supriya had other plans. Her playful dare, challenging Jithu, reignited the spark. And so, on a scorching July 19, 2018, fate intervened again, guiding them both to a first date in Chicago. As the day unfolded, neither of them could have predicted that this would be the start of something beautiful. Little did Jithu know that Supriya would make him walk 3 miles, and then, on the second date, a staggering 10 miles despite his pleas for a cab, Uber, or even the CTA. Little did he know that she would be the one he would be waiting for at the end of the aisle. In the end, those miles were just the beginning of an incredible journey—a journey that led to this moment, where Supriya and Jithu prepare to embark on a lifetime of love, laughter, and shared adventures.
