Shefali & Prasant

In the summer of 2018, a serendipitous tale of love unfolded when Shefali, a bright and vivacious student from Cornell University, and Prasant, an equally charming and ambitious scholar from UT Austin, found themselves in the enchanting city of San Francisco for a junior year summer internship. Little did they know that the Bay Area would become the backdrop of their extraordinary love story.

United by a common desire to explore new horizons and connect with like-minded individuals, Shefali and Prasant each set out alone, leaving behind their familiar college campuses. However, the universe had different plans in store for them. In a twist of fate, they found themselves amongst a group of friends who would soon become the architects of their love story.

As the summer days unfolded, amidst the enchanting allure of San Francisco's vibrant culture, both Shefali and Prasant discovered an unexpected and undeniable connection. Their camaraderie soon transitioned into a deep and genuine friendship. They began to see in each other not just a companion in a new city but also a kindred spirit.

The turning point in their budding romance occurred one fateful evening when they decided to explore the nightlife of San Francisco. While dancing the night away, Shefali encountered an unfortunate injury to her knee. It was in this moment of adversity that Prasant's gallant and caring nature shone through. He came to her rescue, offering his unwavering support and helping her walk, turning a potentially distressing situation into an endearing memory. From that day forward, it was evident that their connection was something truly special.

As the summer came to an end, Shefali and Prasant faced the challenge of parting ways as they returned to their respective colleges. The geographical distance that separated them only fueled their determination to make their love work. They embarked on a remarkable journey of maintaining a long-distance relationship, navigating time zones and busy student lives, but their bond remained unbreakable.

Over the course of the next 1.5 years, Shefali and Prasant made countless efforts to be with each other, seizing every opportunity to bridge the miles that kept them apart. The miles seemed trivial compared to the strength of their love, as they traveled back and forth, cherishing the moments they could spend together.

Finally, in May 2019, Shefali took a significant leap of faith and moved to the evergreen city of Seattle, marking a new chapter in their love story. Prasant, driven by the same deep affection, graduated in December 2019 and followed his heart to Seattle, reuniting with Shefali to begin a life filled with endless possibilities.

Their love story continued to flourish in Seattle, a city that became the backdrop to one of the most trying periods in modern history – the global pandemic. It was during this challenging time that their love deepened and matured. They stood together, unwavering, offering each other support, and discovering strength in the midst of adversity.

As their story continued to unfold, Shefali and Prasant discovered a shared passion for adventure, embarking on road trips that led them to hidden gems, hikes that pushed their boundaries, and various culinary expeditions. They also cherished their social life, sharing laughter and making memories with friends as they explored the city they now called home.

The year 2023 marked a monumental moment in their love story. While on a memorable trip to New York City with both of their families, Prasant seized the perfect opportunity to express his devotion. In Central Park, amidst the lush greenery and under the clear blue sky, he poured out his heart and proposed to Shefali in the most sentimental and romantic fashion. Their love story had come full circle, and they were ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives together.

Now, as they stand on the cusp of forever, Shefali and Prasant's love story serves as a testament to the power of fate, resilience, and unwavering commitment. With their upcoming wedding scheduled for March 2024 in Jaipur, they eagerly await the day they tie the knot and embark on a lifelong journey of love, adventure, and companionship. The pages of their love story continue to unfold, with each day bringing new promises and new dreams as they look forward to the infinite possibilities that their future holds.
