How We Met
Divya and Anand first met they were five years old as they were family friends. However, over time, they lost in touch with each other. As fate would have it, they met again during a college Red Cross volunteer program in Peru. They felt a connection in the mountains of Machu Pichu, and so began their relationship. The more they got to know each other, the stronger their bond became, and soon Divya became Anand’s pillar of strength in even the most trying times. “She was my rock, and I knew I had to be with her,” shares Anand.

Proposal
Anand’s proposal to Divya wasn’t only a result of his doings. Both their families got together to create an unforgettable romantic experience. When Divyawas through with her residency applications, Anand flew her to Cabo in Mexico where they met some closes family members. While Divya thought this was just a thoughtful gesture on his part, their mothers were primed to pamper her for the day. After her spa trip, Divya wore a gorgeous beige gown. When she made her way to the beach, she was surprised by Anand standing under a canopy of flowers, and he proposed to her.

Wedding Functions

Sangeet
Divya wore a colorful lehenga to match the vibe of this function. She swapped fine jewellery for a broad fashion necklace evoking images of a vivacious gypsy bride. Anand kept up with the theme by wearing a yellow sherwani and pairing it with a bright blue dupatta. Their loved ones lit up the function with their energetic dance performances in the evening, and a ‘dhol’ (ethnic drum) player further raised the energy levels at the event by drumming upbeat tunes.
