Our Story

Tarun & I are different but similar in so many ways, we are both Indian but grew up in multiple countries and we both decided to follow our passions- his being finance and mine being fashion which led us to college in New York and eventually to each other. I do think that everything happens for a reason and all of the choices we made led us to where we are today, getting ready to celebrate with all of you in December for our wedding! The day before I met Tarun, I remember writing down a list of every quality I wanted in my dream man, when I look back at that list I see that Tarun encapsulates every quality I noted down. When I met Tarun I immediately knew he was the one, I could say it was love at first sight- I even called my sister and told her I met the man I was going to one day marry and look where we are now!
Question

What happened next?

Answer

Tarun didn't necessarily  feel the same way I felt at that time but I spent a good year chasing after him (sorry to all of my friends that had to listen to me go on and on about "Citibank Guy"). While I spent one year chasing Tarun, I'm okay with it because he spent the next 4 years (plus I know he will spend the rest of his life and afterlife) making me feel like the most special, valued and loved person in the world. Tarun is the kindest, most generous and smartest man I have ever met (apart from both of my dad's just on the latter quality it's a tie) and I feel so blessed to be marrying him again in India this December. We have been through so much together, between the pandemic and getting a beautiful puppy- we have experienced the good, the great and the tough times together and we are looking forward to experiencing all that life has to offer, hand in hand and with our beautiful puppy Potato by our side. Our family is such an important part of our story, they mean the world to us and we're so happy that we are one big family now! One of the main reasons I fell for Tarun in the first place is because he reminded me of my dad and my dad is my best friend and all I ever wanted was for my future husband to be my best friend as well. Our parents love both of us equally as their own children and show that through their words and actions- although I'm pretty sure Tarun's dad loves me the most and my mother has never been as peaceful and excited as when she is around Tarun (and Potato who she probably loves the most). Tarun's mum has taught me so much about being a strong independent woman and also about how to deal with her son when he gets on my nerves! Our family has come together and supported us through everything and I know that this love and bond we all have is just going to grow with the years.

For all the days along the way
