Title: Brother’s Legacy Leads to Unexpected Love Story
In a heartwarming twist of fate, Tanya Tanwar Sareen believes her late brother played a role in bringing her together with her future husband, Joel Gregory Adolphson. Despite the tragic loss of her brother, Maj. Taj Sareen, in a jet crash in 2015, Tanya found love and companionship in an unexpected way.
The story began when a group of Major Sareen’s former squadron mates visited Las Vegas for a bachelor party in November 2021. Among them was Colonel Adolphson, who had served with Major Sareen in San Diego. Despite initial reservations out of respect for Tanya’s late brother, Colonel Adolphson and Tanya hit it off at a lounge in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas hotel.
Their connection deepened as they spent time together, and soon, Colonel Adolphson mustered the courage to ask Tanya for her phone number. Despite the initial hesitation from their friends, who deemed Tanya off-limits, the couple’s relationship blossomed.
Fast forward to April 2023, Colonel Adolphson surprised Tanya with a birthday celebration in San Diego that turned into a romantic proposal at sunset. Overwhelmed with joy, Tanya said yes, and the couple tied the knot on March 23 at the Aria hotel in Las Vegas.
The wedding ceremony was a beautiful blend of Indian and Western customs, reflecting Tanya’s heritage and their unique love story. Major Sareen’s presence was felt throughout the ceremony, with his photo and military hat displayed prominently.
As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, Tanya will be moving to Yuma to be with Colonel Adolphson, who is stationed there. Despite their different backgrounds and upbringings, the couple found a deep connection and understanding in each other.
Reflecting on their journey, Colonel Adolphson expressed his commitment to keeping Tanya happy and cherished the memories of their first date. Their love story is a testament to the power of fate and the enduring legacy of a beloved brother.
