17 Days!

We met at a mutual family friend's house for a laid back afternoon of jet skiing on the lake and a lunch. We barely talked, and definitely didn't think anything of it. As luck would have it, we continued to run into each other at various cultural events and gatherings. Many months later, we find ourselves talking nonstop, even finding excuses to do so! It was a while before either of us realized what we had was special. Slowly, but surely we ended up where we are today: ready to celebrate our marriage with you!

The proposal involved four of the couple's closest friends! One of them had just moved to Las Vegas, so the group decided to go visit her. Dhvanil hatched the brilliant plan to propose to Aditi on the trip. The trip planning was already underway, and she would never suspect it! With some clever planning, the ring arrived to Las Vegas before the couple, and was placed under the care of their friend there. Dhvanil was acting a little strange at the beginning of the trip, but Aditi just assumed it was the stress of travel and waking up so early for a flight. The day after their arrival, the group traveled to parts of Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon. Everyone was careful not to say anything around Aditi, but still managed to coordinate with the tour guide, who also got involved in the proposal! She asked to take a picture of the group, who soon insisted Dhvanil and Aditi get a picture alone. Before Aditi could even react, Dhvanil was on one knee (almost) asking her to marry him! She was so excited, she never even said yes! Instead, she just jumped around happily until Dhvanil placed the ring on her finger. Its clear she couldn't even process what just happened! It was definitely a memorable proposal and it was so nice of Dhvanil to involve their friends!
