Barry and Raman met in Irving, Texas in March of 2002 while having lunch with fellow workmates. After a conversation about climbing ensued, they exchanged email addresses and soon had their first date at a climbing gym. It wasn't long before the climbing went outdoors to the local climbing area near Mineral Wells, Texas with some other friends. That began a series of adventures over the next 5 years as they travelled the southwest and climbed mountains in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and California. They fell in love along the way and Barry proposed to Raman on the shores of Beaver Lake near Eureka Springs, Arkansas over Thanksgiving 2007. The announcement of their planned wedding can be viewed by clicking on the figure on your left.

Raman's family name is Toor. The Toor family migrated to Punjab (North India) about 200 years ago from Rajasthan (north western part of India ). Raman's parents are Kuldip and Sukhjit Toor.  Kuldip’s father was a teacher and his mother was a house wife.  Kuldip Toor got an Electrical Engineering Diploma from a Polytechnic Institution in 1969.   Sukhjit Toor got her Matriculation and then studied in an Arts College for two years. Kuldip and Sukhjit moved to Zambia (Central Africa) in 1969 and stayed there for 35 years before going back to India in 2004.  Kuldip and Sukhjit have two children, Gagan and Raman and both were educated in the US .  Both got a Masters degree from Texas Tech University . After college Raman moved to Dallas where she met Barry .

The Toor family are of the Sikh faith. It was therefore appropriate for Barry and Raman to have a Sikh Wedding. The wedding was held at the Sikh Temple in Garland, Texas. The wedding was held on 10 May 2008.
