We met in college...

Fate put us one floor apart in the dorms as we started our lives as Badgers at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. We almost immediately became friends ("almost" because Pathik still remembers Hailey ignoring him when he saw her in the elevator for the first time). College life was great...new found freedom, late nights studying, and making life long friends. After a while, Pathik decided that his new friend Hailey should probably be a little more than friends and he asked her out. Those first moments became months, then years and, sure enough, we fell in love.

Life after college was spent distances apart...

Hailey decided 4 years in college wasn't enough...so she stayed for 3 more years as she pursued her PharmD. Meanwhile, Pathik went on to start his career as an engineer and joined a professional development program that would have him in a new location every 6 months. Between Pathik's various assignments and Hailey's pharmacy rotations, we were as far away as Belize and the UK and as close as Madison and Chicago.

Our story has been growing ever since.

After a long time coming (yes it's been a long time), we can not wait to start our lives together as husband and wife.
