How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met on the dating app Hinge - a question on my profile asked, "can you see yourself living with 2 - 3 bullmastiffs?" He said owning bullmastiffs was a dream of his, and we hit it off from there. I knew he was "the one" when all the mundane tasks in life became more exciting because we constantly laugh together. Whether or not we will actually be able to handle 3 bullmastiffs... is to be determined!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We had just moved across the country from Ohio to Oregon a few months prior to our engagement. Logan's sister was visiting us for the first time in our new home city, and we had planned a nice dinner together. Before going into the restaurant, Logan led me to a scenic trail outside the restaurant, pretending he was seeing it for the first time, and proposed! Our friends were hiding to get photos of us. When we headed into the restaurant, our parents, close family, and friends were all waiting for us for a surprise engagement party he had planned :)

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
First, lots of online research! We also worked with Indian Destination Wedding, who helped us choose our venue and answer questions about logistics. We couldn't have done it without them! I also searched Facebook groups for vendor recommendations in Cancun, which was very helpful! That's how I found my hair and makeup vendor (VO Evolution) and photographer (Pixan Photography).

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I bought my bridal lehenga from Pernia's, who was fantastic to work with if you are unable to make a trip to India. I always imagined my bridal lehenga to be a deep red, so I customized a bridal lehenga from designer Ruchika Hurria to be a deeper red, with a customized blouse.

Having grown up in the US, I felt like I would miss out by not wearing white at my wedding, and I also wanted a lehenga that I could freely dance in. So I worked with my Aunt, who lives in India, to customize a white lehenga for my reception.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
We decided early on to choreograph our first dance after choosing our song (Swing Life Away, by Rise Against). Neither of us had dance experience, and we started dance lessons nearly a year before our wedding. It was such a fun learning and bonding experience, and although stressful at times, it felt great to work on it together.

Darlings, enjoy our mesmerizing blog, which vividly captures the magic of each couple's special day.
