Once upon a time, in a world where hiking in heels was a thing and salsa dancing was a test of courage, two people met and quickly became adventure partners for life.

Chapter 1: The Swipe That Changed Everything

In the whimsical land of online dating, where swipes lead to stories, we found each other. Our first phone call turned into hours of conversation and laughter. Ashwin was allegedly “working,” but was really just trying to muster the courage to say more than a few words. Amritha, with her infectious laughter and intriguing stories, made that first encounter unforgettable. She didn’t know it yet, but Ashwin had already started planning their first date at Coyote Hills—where the scenery was (almost) as beautiful as the company.

Chapter 2: Adventure Awaits

From hiking the trails of national parks like Joshua Tree and Yellowstone to narrowly escaping wildlife encounters with moose and bears, we discovered that our shared love for adventure was unmatched. Amritha’s knack for spotting adventure (and Ashwin’s talent for missing directions) made each trip a story worth retelling. Whether it was exploring new music together, attempting to cook exotic recipes in the kitchen, or getting lost in a bookshop, our adventures have always been about finding joy in the journey.

Chapter 3: Finding Our Rhythm

Salsa dancing was Ashwin’s bold move to impress Amritha. While some of his steps were questionable, the joy on Amritha’s face made every misstep worth it. She’s been the rhythm to Ashwin’s life ever since, turning each moment into a dance worth savoring.

Chapter 4: The Ties That Bind

As our journey together unfolded, we discovered the joy of expanding our circle and welcoming new friends into our lives. From hosting dinner parties where the food was as varied as the company to joining clubs and activities that challenged us to step outside our comfort zones, each experience enriched our lives in unexpected ways.

Our friends have become our extended family, sharing in our laughter, supporting us through challenges, and celebrating our milestones. Whether it was a spontaneous road trip with friends or a board game night that turned into a legendary tale, these moments have been the glue that strengthens our bond and reminds us of the incredible community we’ve built together.

Chapter 5: A Promise Under the Stars

Our engagement at Coyote Hills was a full-circle moment. Under the same sunset where Ashwin first held Amritha’s hand, he asked her to be his life partner. It was a moment that captured the essence of our journey and the countless memories yet to be made.

Chapter 6: Embracing the Journey Ahead

As we step into this new chapter, we promise to keep laughing at each other’s jokes, continue exploring new horizons, and cherish every moment together. Here’s to making more memories, embracing the unknown, and savoring the melody of life as it unfolds.
