Story
Matrimonial websites do tend to work at times! After talking for two weeks on chat and insta, we met each other in the hot Tampa airport as the dreaded pandemic loomed. With his N95 mask on in an almost empty airplane, Parvinder flew (against the advice of many) to meet Bahar for the first time. The rest you can say is history, but because we love all of you - we will reveal the details. The walks on the beach, the ocean, and the breeze brought us ever closer and we spent hours chatting by the shoreline. Before the sun set, as it usually does so beautifully over the charming sea in Florida, we were hooked.
From meeting parents to the Roka ceremony, the next few months unraveled like a scripted love story - whether its was meeting up at Chattanooga for a weekend hiatus, or a fun get away back to Florida, the thrills never stopped. Before winter hit, Denver became a spot of our dreams, the proposal of course! All we are going to say is that America's mountain became ours for a short few hours - refer to the pictures!
They say time flies when you're having fun. We can't emphasize this enough because it's already wedding season! Though work at times keeps us busy- with Bahar slaying GI fellowship and Parvinder saving lives as an Emergency Medicine resident - it can't keep us away from each other #weeklyroadtrips.
Now we are so excited to celebrate our love with all of you. Cheers to an amazing weekend, don't forget to dance!! :)
More to come....
