We met the way all great modern love stories begin -- on Hinge. One of us made the first move (we'll let you guess who), and the rest was history! A few messages in, we realized we have two very important things in common: we both work in healthcare and we knew the correct use of "your" vs. "you're." A very strong foundation, obvi.

Our first date was in San Francisco (he was living in Oakland, but crossed the bridge without hesitation-- a green flag.) What was meant to be a quick drink turned into hours of conversation, laughter, and the sneaky suspicion that we'd just stumbled into something special.

And we had.

Since then, we've built a life filled with love, long hikes, the occasional run, and lots of travel-- through the mountains of Montana, the beaches of Hawaii, the streets of Seattle, and eaten our weight in maple syrup in Canada. We've also had the chance to visit Keyur's family in India-- an unforgettable trip filled with warmth, color, and a lot of food-- and made a spontaneous detour to Dubai, where we discovered that neither of us is particularly good at sandboarding but re instated Tori's love for shopping.

At our core, we're happiest doing simple things together: walking outside, planning our next trip, drinking coffee, and laughing at things only the two of us find funny. Life with each other has felt like the greatest adventure-- and the most natural thing in the world.

Now we are so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by all the people who've been part of our journey. We CANNOT wait to toast to love, laughter, and a lifetime of crossing bridges together (literal and otherwise).
