Bride and Groom

	Kumar is an Indian dude who happens to be one of the most successful engineer in his class (cough).  That is, from his Kindergarden class of 10.  He came to USA for a graduate study in Columbia University.  He eventually works at Arcsight, and has been there for ages.
	Clara is a Filipina lady who came to USA with her family.  She can't seem to figure out what she wants in life so she spends most of her time studying.  ((In fairness, she finished 2 Bachelor's and worked in a Petroleum Industry before she decides she really wants to be a nurse.)  Finally, she finished Nursing from Samuel Merritt College and started working in Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto.

So now, did you see the connection between the two of them?

Clara was new in San Francisco, it was during this time that she met
Kumar from her first Halloween party.  Both of them are the shy type
who happen to sit on the same couch when all their friends were
dancing.  Small talk and no attraction really exist during that time.
Kumar felt obligated to ask for her phone number (?), and she too was
hesitant to give her number.  She gave her email address instead
(actually, she does not have a cellphone, so she cannot really give a
phone number).  Did we say no attraction exist?  They did not meet
until after over 6 months.  Casual chat once in a while, but that was
it.  From the way Clara remembers it, he was "the guy who sweats a
lot" -- Kumar adds -- only when he has danced for hours!

They finally decided to meet and voila.. that is when their love story
began.  Kumar travels for 40 minutes to watch a movie with Clara.
Kumar is showing off as Clara admires how he knows the City so well.
Kumar is running out of places to go in SF (too bad, there is no
yelp.com yet), so he decided to take Clara to Southbay where he is
very familiar.  They are in Southbay most of the time since Clara's is
avoiding to be caught by her relatives (who mostly lives in SF).

Kumar moved to Daly City to live closer to where Clara lives, hoping
to see her more often (aww..).   Yeah, yeah, yeah, Clara was flattered
but he did not mention that his whole plan was to move back to
Southbay with Clara moving in with him.  Kumar patiently commutes to
Cupertino for 18 months, but it was all worth it (aww..…  yeah, yeah
yeah). And now, it is time for Clara to do the same?!!  Huh!? To make
the long story short, they are now in Mountain View and who knows
where they will end up after 18 months of "contract".

Couples' first picture together, that was a few decades ago...
