How we met
2020

☕ How did we meet?

We met in 2020 while working for the same Swiss startup. For three years, we were simply colleagues collaborating on projects, exchanging ideas, and unknowingly laying the foundation for something truly special.

In 2022, our story took a beautiful turn. We started spending more time together outside of work, and one evening, he surprised me with a traditional Indian dish, kachori with chai. That simple yet flavorful gesture marked the beginning of something magical. From that moment on, food became our shared language. We've since created our own little fusion kitchen, blending Indian and Ecuadorian flavors in ways that bring us both joy (and lots of spice).

What drew us to each other was more than just being foodies; we connected through our shared values, sense of humor, and the many interests that effortlessly aligned between us. Coming from different cultures, we've found deep common ground in our strong family values and traditions, which continue to shape our journey together.

Whether it's discovering new music, sharing late-night conversations, or cooking up something delicious in the kitchen, our bond has grown naturally and beautifully. Becoming "us" felt like the most organic thing in the world, and we haven't looked back since.

Our first adventure
2022

🏔️ Our first adventure?

Our first adventure took us to the enchanting city of Vienna during our favorite season, winter. There was something magical in the air: the cozy lights, the crisp chill, and the feeling that something special was unfolding.

What made this trip truly unforgettable was how it began. A casual conversation about endangered species quickly turned into an impromptu plan to visit the Vienna Zoo, all because we wanted to see pandas! It may sound simple, but for us, it was extraordinary. We were both so curious and excited, and sharing that moment made us feel even more connected.

We spent hours strolling through the snow-dusted streets of Vienna, admiring the city's charm and talking about everything, from dreams and goals to quirky observations. One funny memory stands out: during our visit, there was a city-wide strike, and the demonstrators were playing "Macarena" in the streets. Of course, Erika didn't waste a second and jumped right in and started dancing in the middle of the city!

Every step, every word, felt like a step closer to each other. That trip didn't just mark our first adventure together; it also gave us a glimpse of the beautiful future we could build side by side.

The proposal
2024

💍 The proposal

Our proposal didn't happen on a mountaintop or in a fancy restaurant; it happened right in the heart of our home: our kitchen.

As usual, we were chatting over dishes, talking about our plans, our careers, and what the future might hold. In the middle of the conversation, one sentence naturally led to the next, and Sarv Shakti said, "I see you in my future." Then, without missing a beat, he asked, "Do you want to marry me?"

I was literally washing the dishes, but I turned to him, smiled, and said yes. Just like that, we were engaged. We hugged, we kissed, and with joyful tears and quiet certainty, we knew this was exactly what we both wanted: to build a life and a family together, rooted in love, trust, and shared dreams.
