How we met

The early days

Alex and Jigna met during a summer internship at NASA. Alex was eager to become a computer science wizard and Jigna was obsessed with everything space exploration. Although they didn't attend the same school, year after year Alex and Jigna found their paths crossing each summer back at NASA until the end of their undergraduate careers.

The sunny cali days

Dancing our hearts out

After graduating university, both Alex and Jigna found their callings in California. Alex got a job working as a mobile software engineer for Edmunds.com and Jigna got her dream job at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Jigna and Alex both knew there was something missing from their lives at this point and that something just so happened to be dance. They met each other once again after both joining a competitive Bollywood dance team. They shared the competitive stage together across the country and grew closer with every twist and turn. After a thrilling competitive year, both Jigna and Alex knew each day spent apart from each other was incomplete. From that point forward, the two continued to spend as much free time together as possible exploring California one experience at a time.

East coast better coast?

Living that big city life

After a few fun filled years in the sun, Jigna and Alex both decided it was time for a change of scenery. Together, they uprooted their lives and moved back to the east coast looking to experience the hustle and bustle of NYC. New city, new jobs, new chapter. Unfortunately, upon arrival quarantines were set in place, but Alex and Jigna made the most of each day together.

The proposal

getting that perfect shot

It had been a long time coming as Alex had been planning this day for well over a year. Plan after plan, Alex finally put together the perfect moment to pop the question. It was a rainy Friday night, Jigna and Alex's family and friends had secretly found their way to Jersey City where Alex arranged a piano room, scattered with rose petals and pictures of the two over the years. Alex got down on one knee and asked Jigna to marry him and of course, Jigna couldn't say yes any faster! And now, both Jigna and Alex are so excited to get married with you there to help them celebrate!
