How we met: Connected on match.com on December 31st, 2019 and had our first date in Chicago on January 25th, 2020. Harsha thought Anthea was (and still is) very beautiful and had big brown eyes. Additionally Harsha did not think Anthea was interested in him. Anthea thought Harsha was intense.
The Proposal: Harsha proposed on October 2nd, 2021, on the rooftop of their place in Chicago. The rooftop oversees the Chicago skyline. Additionally, Harsha surprised Anthea at their first date spot at Momotaro where both of their closest friends were there to celebrate the engagement of Anthea and Harsha. According to Anthea, when Harsha proposed, his voice was breaking (this was something Anthea had never seen Harsha do before)
