How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
I met my husband at my friend's 21st birthday party when I was in college. We had a few mutual friends but had never overlapped until that night. Almost immediately we found out we both loved sushi so we made plans to get sushi for dinner together later that week. Many a sushi date later, we've now been together for 7 years. I can't think of one moment when I knew he was the one. It's just been a combination of growing up and growing together through the years--no matter what life has thrown our way. There's no one else I would want to share this journey with.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We spent about 4 years doing long distance from CA to VA while I was in medical school so my husband would fly out every few months to visit me. During my third year of medical school, he flew up one weekend and we decided to take a weekend trip to Washington DC. When we got there, he insisted that we go to the Washington Monument before dinner and take pictures. At the monument, he handed my phone to someone to take a picture of us. When I turned to look at him, he was down on one knee proposing. I was hysterical and couldn't believe it was happening! But somewhere in all my excitement I think I managed to say yes and the rest is history!
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.
My wedding hit a year delay due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We downscaled the wedding from 350 people to 150 right as things started opening up in 2021. All of the vendors I worked with from hair/makeup, decorator, day of event coordination, photography, DJ, catering, and venue were all AMAZING!
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I always wanted to wear a traditional red lengha for my wedding so that's the color I was exclusively looking for when I shopped. I found my dream dress at Kalki fashion in Mumbai. I am still obsessed with the way it looked on the day of!
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Planning was honestly quite stressful especially when the pandemic and the delays it caused. I didn't necessarily enjoy the planning, but it was completely worth it when I saw the final results.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
I think they all said they really enjoyed the food!
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Walking down the aisle and being able to see all of my loved ones in one place!
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Enjoy the process. Your wedding goes by in the blink of an eye!
