Once upon a time, there were two young, talented Hindu doctors whose love story was as intricate and beautiful as a delicate surgical procedure. Ankita Mathur, with her vibrant spirit and passion for anesthesia, found herself in the fast-paced streets of New York, while her beloved Neil, a skilled anesthesia resident from Texas with roots in Haryana, India, navigated the medical world with equal fervor. Their paths first crossed through the serendipitous threads of mutual friends, but little did they know that fate had already woven their destinies together long before. You see, Ankita and Neil had unknowingly danced their way into each other's lives years ago, back in their medical school days. Both avid lovers of Bollywood and Bhangra, they had unknowingly competed against each other in a spirited team dance competition. Ankita’s team emerged victorious, and to this day, she never let Neal live it down, playfully teasing him about her team's triumph. Despite their playful rivalry on the dance floor, it was not until years later that their eyes met, and their hearts intertwined in a dance of love that transcended time and distance. As the world grappled with a pandemic, Ankita and Neil's love blossomed over late-night video calls, shared laughter, and heartfelt conversations that bridged the miles between New York and Texas. As their love deepened, their families, with their roots stretching from Virginia to Texas and beyond, joined hands in joyous celebration, paving the way for a union that was destined to be. With their engagement orchestrated by their loving extended families, Ankita and Neil found themselves on the cusp of a new chapter in their lives, eagerly planning a wedding that would blend traditions and cultures in a vibrant tapestry of love. As their residency training drew to a close, Ankita looked forward to her upcoming fellowship in New York, while Neil's pediatric fellowship awaited him on the horizon. With each passing day, their shared dreams of a future together grew stronger, fueled by their mutual love for medicine, dance, and each other. And so, the story of Ankita and Neil, the two young Hindu doctors whose love transcended borders and boundaries, continues to dance on in the rhythm of their hearts, as they are ready to write a new chapter of laughter, love, and happily ever after as they wed this April, 2024!
