When we met?

September 21, 2017

It all started with Rikin Mathur - Rikin was living in San Francisco and was celebrating his 25th birthday. He invited family and friends from all around to party on a boat in the Bay water. While worlds were colliding for Rikin, 2 people, in particular, were vibing. 

First Surprise

October 7, 2017

After sparks were ignited in San Francisco, Noopur's 25th birthday was 2 weeks later in Philadelphia. Chirag and Noopur had been messaging but Chirag knew he wanted to see her again. He flew up from Charlotte, NC, and surprised Noopur while she was at her birthday dinner with all her friends. The weekend was filled with continued celebrations and great conversations.

First Date

November 4, 2017

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

City 1, City 2

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. 

The Proposal

May 21, 2022

Chirag proposed to Noopur on a boat in the Potomac River in Washington D.C. to commemorate when they first met on a boat in San Francisco. The beautiful day ended with the happy couple's friends and family partying the night away.
