Connect How did your love story begin?

We matched on a dating app. Sasha had been feeling jaded by the New York dating scene and felt men were not putting in enough effort. Day of the date, Sasha grabbed her phone to cancel, only to find a message from Dylan where he outlined their plan and gave her thoughtful directions to the speakeasy. The message was too sweet for Sasha to cancel so she planned to go for a drink and skip dinner. Four tacos and a few hours later, Sasha went home and told her roommate "I think I like him."

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Dylan proposed to Sasha a few weeks ago under the Tree of Life, a 250 year-old oak tree in New Orleans. Sasha had been hinting that she was getting impatient to be a fiancée. After all, this last New Year's Eve Dylan said he was hopeful to "no longer be a boyfriend in 2025." We had dinner plans, but Dylan "needed to do Facebook Marketplace deal" before. Sasha thought it was strange but went with it. Dylan amazed Sasha with a ring he designed and an engagement party with surprise loved ones.

What would you do with $20,000?

Sasha graduates from medical school next year and we want to marry before she becomes a doctor. Now we’re planning an Indian wedding on a limited timeframe. Sasha has a huge family located across the world and Dylan is from the Caribbean. This money will go towards a travel fund so all of our relatives can celebrate our three-day wedding in New Orleans.
