Ravi and Sam's story began during Ravi's first week of work for the government, where Sam was assigned as Ravi's onboarding buddy. Just a few weeks later, COVID-19 changed everything, and the world went into lockdown. With both of them working on the same team and project, they found themselves navigating these unusual times together, often being each other's only in-person company. The close connection they formed during those months soon blossomed into something more, and at the end of the year, they began dating.

Once they started dating, they found themselves constantly traveling back and forth between Maryland, where Ravi lived, and DC, where Sam lived, making the most of their weekends together. Eventually, Sam received an exciting opportunity to move to California for work, and without hesitation, Ravi followed. From their initial days as colleagues to becoming each other's partners in adventure, their journey is filled with love, growth, and a sense of togetherness that has only deepened over time. And the rest, as they say, is history.
