Komal and Lindsey's engagement began with two tickets to The Lion King on Broadway and a weekend trip to New York City. On top of the iconic Beau Bridge in Manhattan's Central Park, Lindsey asked Komal how she would feel about spending the rest of her life with him. Komal's response? Maybe. “I wasn't totally sure if he was actually proposing!” Komal says. But, soon that was clarified, as Lindsey got down on one knee. “Of course then I said 'Yes!'” Komal says. Eight months later the two were married at The Sheraton Columbus at Capitol Square in Columbus, Ohio in a luxe pink and gold indoor affair.

There was no traditional wedding party, but Komal's friends wore saris that her and her mother purchased in India.
