Once upon a time in the city of angels, fate guided two strangers to connect over the internet. Despite a lack of texting chemistry, fate had other plans. The combination of a federal holiday and a poor poker tournament result led to Pesh and Ranj deciding to go on a date out of mutual holes in their calendars.

Their destiny aligned in Long Beach, California on September 2, 2019 when Pesh and Ranj had an incredibly unique first date leading to an unexpected soulful connection.

Four years and many adventures later, Pesh and Ranj held each other through the most joyous times and the most challenging times, emerging with a royal flush of a relationship and along the way came a spicy little puppy, named Pickles.

One autumn evening on October 2, 2023, the couple glided along the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy on a gondola. Unbeknownst to Pesh, Ranj popped the question "will you be my life partner" by asking him to flip a coin, gambler style. As fate had it, the first flip landed on the question and Pesh said yes! and that began the next phase of their lives together.

Two months later on December 1, 2023, having designed a gorgeous custom made ring for his fiancé, Pesh surprised Ranj in a conference room, with a merger contract, lawyer style. Ranj was lawyered, and accepted the terms of the romantic merger contract, although she was tempted to redline it.

With the blessings and well wishes of their loving parents, family and friends, Pesh and Ranj are thrilled to celebrate new beginnings and adventures that await their fairytale love story.
