“We never felt like strangers. From the very beginning, it was so easy to be myself with him — and he got plus points for laughing at all my (terrible) jokes. We established our mutual love of french fries and the fact that he basically followed me around DFW our entire lives until we finally met.” ~ Divya
"She was easy to talk to. Our conversations were organic from the beginning and never felt forced. Probably because we literally followed each other our whole lives. Awkward attempts to guess where she went to medical school aside, we didn't miss a beat." ~ Nikhil
“A proposal really is a strategic operation. I had both of our families involved going to secret meetings while she was away. We sold her the story of a family gathering but instead it was me in her backyard. Pretty sure she's still shaken by how well we tricked her!” ~ Nikhil
“I’m both legitimately impressed and highly concerned with how skilled everybody I know is at LYING TO ME. I honestly had no idea about the proposal until it was already happening, I truly didn’t suspect a thing. That day was such a whirlwind of confusion, surprise, and so much love. Easily one of the best, most unexpected days of my whole life.” ~ Divya
“Making my rank list was probably one of the most stressful things I’ve ever had to do, and I couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more patient or understanding partner to support me through the process. His constant love and encouragement is truly a gift, and I am so excited to be following my dreams at A&M with my best friend by my side!” ~ Divya
“I had never seen her so intense and focused as when she made her residency rank list. It was a stressful experience for me as a bystander so kudos to all you medical students! I am so proud of her and know she's going to do great things at A&M.” ~ Nikhil
“It's been a wild ride the past few years with my better half. We've endured the twists and turns on the roller coaster of life by always having each other's backs. Divya understands me like no one else and helps me be the best version of myself. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us and am excited to celebrate the start of that future with all of you!” ~ Nikhil
"We’ve grown so much since our first encounter, and yet the kind, patient, witty, and fiercely loyal man I met two years ago remains by my side to this day. Nikhil is the mac to my cheese, the aloo to my gobi, and the calm to my never ending chaos — I am so unbelievably lucky to have found such love, partnership, and friendship all wrapped up into one amazing human being. I can’t wait to marry my best friend and the love of my whole life. We are so excited to share and celebrate the beginning of our forever with all of you!” ~ Divya
