Ours isn't a Bollywood meet-cute. It started with our parents, a careful introduction, and the slow realisation that we were going to like each other quite a lot. We've been writing the rest, one cup of coffee at a time.
Winter '25
The first meeting
Two families met over chai in Patparganj. Plates of barfi were emptied. Notes were compared. Both sides quietly agreed that this had promise.
Spring '26
The Roka
On a warm spring afternoon, our families exchanged shaguns and blessings. Roka rasam complete — and so was the unanimous family-WhatsApp consensus.
Summer '26
Sagan & Sangeet
An evening of rings, light, music — and a few dance practices that turned out to be much less secret than we thought.
Winter '26
The Wedding
On 12 December 2026, we begin our forever — surrounded by every person who has loved us along the way. Including, most likely, you.
