How We Met
Hardik and Soohi, who are now based in the US, studied in the same school in India from their kindergarten years. However, they did not know each other personally back then. Soohi moved to the US after her twelfth grade. After Hardik also moved there, the two started talking. And after almost three years of being friends, their feelings deepened and they decided to get married.

The Proposal
The proposal took place in South Carolina, at a covered bridge over a beautiful stream. Hardik wanted to show Soohi the beautiful spot surrounded by mountains. However, he had a surprise wedding proposal up his sleeve. When she was admiring the views, he got down on one knee and presented the ring and popped the question. It was later on that Soohi found out that everything was planned and that Hardik had even booked a photographer to capture the special moment.
