Ravinaa Sharma and Rishi Wadhwani

We met right after our orientation for grad school in the Student Union, and there were sparks between us right away—so much so that our friends noticed and decided to try and get us together. And it worked! We would take the shuttle together to UCF, and we slowly started to fall for each other. We loved getting coffees at Einstein, walking on the boardwalk holding hands, and skating at Light Up UCF. Through our two years there, we not only realized how much we loved each other, but also that we were best friends. We graduated together and started our lives. He proposed in 2017 and we got married in 2018. Now we have jobs in the same company in NYC and live with our fur baby. I owe my family and our happy lives to UCF; otherwise, we would’ve never met or had the chance to grow up together.
