Our Story

Neha and Samraj met at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign while studying Computer Science. What began as study sessions and long conversations at their favorite campus spot soon blossomed into a deep friendship, and eventually, something more.

Over the years, they've built a relationship rooted in shared adventures - from weekend trips to Chicago to exploring new countries together, culminating in a magical proposal in Switzerland. Bonded by their love for travel, food, and discovering new experiences, they balance each other perfectly and bring out the best in one another.

They are excited to begin this next chapter surrounded by the family and friends who have supported them along the way.
