How They Met
Bhagya and Vignesh first met in Mumbai where they were both pursuing their undergraduate studies. They gradually became close friends, and to their luck, even ended up going to the same city – New York, to pursue their master’s degrees where their friendship progressively turned into romance. After graduation, Vignesh moved to Seattle while Bhagya stayed in New York and after years of long-distance courting, the couple finally reunited when she made her move to Seattle.
