Once upon a time, in the chaos of the Red Lion at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, the stars aligned, and we kicked off a friendship that was destined for greatness. It all started in 2016 when fate, probably fueled by a few beverages, brought us together.

As the seasons changed and March rolled around, our friendship took an unexpected turn—love was in the air, or maybe it was just the scent of dp dough and chopstix. The transition from pals to partners was marked by laughter that echoed through the years, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.

Our college days were a whirlwind of a shared class (Aman failed and Shreya passed), going to sorority and fraternity date events, late night library sessions, and countless adventures around Champaign-Urbana. The Red Lion, witness to our first meeting, became our favorite bar that saw more than its fair share of celebrations and hilarious stories. Shreya knew Aman was the one when he left the Drake concert early for her during their weekend getaway to Chicago (he thinks about this often).

Post-college life didn't slow us down; if anything, it cranked up the excitement. Multiple state line moves became a testament to our strong relationship. And in the midst of it all, Saké, our fur-ever friend, joined the squad, adding an extra dose of love and chaos to our lives.

So, here's to the laughter that never fades, the bonds that only grow stronger, and the adventures yet to come. Please join us as we transition to our next chapter, filled with love, joy, and a lifetime of shared moments.
