Our story began during a time of uncertainty and change—the early stages of the pandemic. Meera was wrapping up her final year of college when schools shut down, leading her back home to Hermiston, OR. It was there, through a twist of fate orchestrated by Taran’s best friend Vikash, that our paths first crossed.

One evening, Vikash convinced Taran to join his parents on a trip to Hermiston. Little did Taran know, this trip would change everything. That’s when Taran and Meera first met, striking up a conversation that quickly revealed their shared interests. Both avid gym-goers and food enthusiasts, they also cherished their close bonds with family. And as fate would have it, they discovered they shared the same birthday—an unexpected and delightful coincidence that sparked a special connection between them.

As months passed, their friendship blossomed into something more. A significant milestone came during a trip to Cancun, Mexico, celebrating Meera’s brother Ankit’s birthday. It was here that they realized just how much they enjoyed each other’s company and shared adventures.

But the defining moment came during a romantic getaway to Cabo, Mexico. Against the backdrop of stunning beaches and azure waters, Taran finally asked Meera to be his girlfriend—an unforgettable moment that marked the beginning of their journey as a couple.

Years of cherished memories followed, filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable experiences. Then, on March 30th, 2023, on the serene shores of San Pedro Island, Belize, Taran decided it was time to take the next step. With the sun setting over the ocean, he asked Meera to be his partner for life, and without hesitation, she said yes!

Now, as we embark on this new chapter together, we invite you to join us in celebrating our love and the adventures yet to come. Thank you for being a part of our story.

With love,

Taran & Meera
