Chirag and Noopur placed a bet and the loser had to fly to the winner's hometown for their first date. Without going into details, Chirag (fortunately) lost and they had their first date in Philadelphia
From drinks at Dandelion in Center City, a romantic dinner at Little Nonna's, and bowling in Fishtown, these two knew there was something special
Throughout the 4.5 years of their relationship, Chirag and Noopur never lived in the same city. The long-distance relationship for them meant more travel. From Portland to Miami, to Tulum, Noopur and Chirag traveled around as they built their relationship.
