Hint: where is Ian proposing?

It's official

Ian & Cindy are
getting married!

The ring!

You did it!!! If you're reading this, that means Ian was able to successfully balance on one knee and pop the question in front of what I was assured would be a gorges Icelandic lake. Hope you remembered to turn on the camera bud. I'm expecting to see some stunning, heart-melting pics.

I of course needed to commemorate this joyous occasion with photos of you both (and some with me!) over the years. I hope you enjoy. Most of the captions are mine but I left one or two of the AI ones because they were funny. See if you can tell which ones are mine :D

A trip down memory lane

Senior year of college. Back when Ian's biggest commitment was picking a dining hall. I think this might’ve been our collective “first legal drink” together.

I think after we took this photo, I said something like I hope we always live in the same city together and Ian replied (quite loudly) saying something like I never want to see you again. The bartender overheard this and laughed in my face. Very embarrassing.

Slope day! Not even together yet but you both already look like a couple. Clearly meant to be.

These two crammed into MY single-seater chair. In MY room. Get your own furniture. (This caption had me dying, I’ll be honest)

Was such a great day. Thank you for supporting my anglophile-ness. Remember how they were somehow out of basically all tea? They gave us some weird thing.

Pineapple. Club. Included this because you both look really cute together here.

Sorry I crashed the photo booth too. Honestly, they're fire though so I'm not actually sorry.

The ring is beautiful. Had a bunch of extra pics and thought this made the site look extra aesthetic ✨

Ian & Cindy

As you can see from the pictures above, I've gotten a chance to witness your relatioship grow over the years and in putting this together, I'm reminded of how rich my life feels because you both are in it. It brings me a lot of joy to know that you both will be together forever and I'm so happy that I've been along for the ride.

Anyways, congratulations on the promotion to fiancé. Hope you both have a wonderful rest of your trip and celebrate being engaged! See you both back in NYC soon!

Here's to forever 🥂

With love,
Nikhil
