Not only is Best Friends a great cause (close to Chloe and Anish's hearts) and a really effective organization, but also, it has been very gracious in letting us use non-public spaces for our wedding and helping organize room blocks and activities - for that, we are incredibly grateful!

We have been wanting to take on outdoor rock climbing and technical mountaineering. A multi-day course is the best way for us to get started, so these funds will go towards that (which is our version of a honeymoon)!

Chloe and Anish have both called LA home (it’s where they met!). Many of their close friends live in LA, with some being directly impacted by the 2025 fires. To honor this connection, this fund will support trusted organizations dedicated to rebuilding LA, including efforts in community restoration, aid for lower-income communities, wildlife rehabilitation, and environmental protection. A list of orgs will be shared as we approach September, when we have a clearer sense of progress and funding needs.
