Love can be found in multiple ways online, even if you don’t have a Tinder account! Meet these two love birds who now live in Atlanta after their Journey via Twitter, turned into a live proposal in just hours of…tweeting!
According to BuzzFeed, Anuj Patel and Sumita Dalmia randomly met on Twitter when Dalmia was just searching for a local event. Patel just so happened to have announced on Twitter that he had an extra ticket to the same event she was looking for called, Jazoo.
Dalmia is obsessed with social media and uses it to land business opportunities, win free contests, and search for anything that’ll save her time and money. So, when Patel coincidentally had an extra ticket to the same venue she was interested in attending, she decided to find other interests they shared also.
They both are into sports marketing, so when Dalmia responded to receive Patel’s extra ticket, they continued to talk about their goals in life. They met back in 2013 on Twitter, and have been inseparable ever since!
“When we explain how we met on accident, they are shocked to find that just one tweet led to such a strong friendship and lasting love.”
After a couple years of physically spending time together outside of Twitter, their love for each other grew and Patel knew it was time to confess how he really felt about his Twitter lover! He decided to create a scavenger hunt composed out of live Tweets and blown up tweet cards that Dalmia was able to follow. The tweeted out directions lead her to different areas of the the city that were special to them.
“This tweet on 9/13/13 began our journey which started it all. Visit the location of each event which takes place in the fall, #SumitaFindAnuj.” Said Anuj Patel via Twitter.
Dalmia was then escorted on a horse and carriage, which dropped her off at a hotel for her final stages to her big clue. There was already a special dress waiting, as Patel asked her to change and then head up to the top of the hotel where the helipad was.
Patel’s final tweet said, “Will you marry me?” Dalmia then presented her own tweet that read, yes! They were finally pronounced engaged on December 19, 2015!
Patel’s last tweet concluded their romantic scavenger hunt proposal: “The couple that meets on @twitter stays on @twitter. Social media scavenger hunt proposal was a success. #shesaidyes.”
