Sean Halls
Groom
Love in the Time of Covid: Having moved to India in late 2019, Sean was working remotely, enjoying the music scene, & hearing inklings of something called Covid-19. On January 14, 2020, Sean was sitting in a bar named Harry's in Khan Market when Mansi walked in. They exchanged glances. That one look...one moment....changed their lives forever. But they didn't know that yet so naturally they just exchanged Instagram handles. Delhi began locking down & Sean took a repatriation flight to Idaho to hunker down with his parents & sister for the start of the pandemic. He kept in touch with Mansi almost daily. Mansi encouraged Sean to focus on his family, music, & work. They went on virtual dates & their love grew. Mansi & Sean decided to become engaged in August of 2020. Sean wasn't able to get back to India to be with her until January 14th of 2021--exactly one year after meeting her. Unbeknownst to Sean, years earlier Mansi met with a fortune-teller who predicted that she would marry a foreigner with a "dark aspect" that she would meet at a bar. Sean wore all black at Harry's that first time they met. Unbeknownst to Mansi, years earlier, Sean had a palm reading in Rajasthan that predicted he would be married at age 32 and have only one wife in his lifetime. Although they're just starting out, Sean says their "compatibility remains second to none, and their connection and flow are seamless." Sean is a musician & also the Chief Technology Officer at DashboardHC.

Mother of the Bride
Dr. Sangita Singh has a Ph.D. in Economics and is a professor of economics at Delhi University, India. Due to difficulties getting visas because of the pandemic, Dr. Singh and her husband won't be at the wedding but will share in the event via live stream. From Dr. Singh: We had the opportunity to spend a whole year getting to know Sean. From the moment he entered our home, he became a part of our family, with his loving and caring ways. I have become the biggest fan of his music. We absolutely adore Sean as our to-be son-in-law.
Mr. Rajveer Singh
Father of the Bride
Mr. Rajveer Singh has an MPhil in Economics. He previously worked with the United Nations as a Cluster Development Expert. Later, he started his own firm where he works as an economist. Mr. Singh has worked with governments all over the world (including in the USA) to implement the Unfair Competition Act in India. Due to difficulties getting visas because of the pandemic, Mr. Singh and his wife won't be at the wedding but will share in the event via live stream. From Mr. Singh: All a father wants for his little girl is to be happy and Mansi has been the happiest ever with Sean. As a future father-in-law, Sean fits perfectly in our family circle with his intelligent and witty personality. He is a perfect fit for my beautiful girl Mansi.
Corinne Halls
Mother of the Groom
As a baby, Sean was his mama's "Sunshine Boy" and "Sweet Prince". Now that Sean is an adult, Corinne appreciates that Sean is a romantic who is also driven and happens to be wicked smart, excelling in autodidactism. She found it both thrilling and amusing to watch Sean fall in love with someone over the phone and on Facetime. Corinne never saw Sean so utterly smitten until Mansi came along. While she hasn't yet met her new daughter-in-law (as of this writing), she already loves her dearly. Mansi is thoughtful, intelligent, loving, and funny. She has seen that Mansi is Sean's perfect match and looks forward to watching them continue in their journey with love, mutual respect, and many grandchildren!
William C. Halls
Father of the Groom
Bill says that Sean has many strengths including his work ethic and his amazing ability to connect with people and help others make connections. Of Mansi, he says he thinks she must have a tremendous calming capacity, seems full of joy, and is very artistic without being "artsy". He hopes their visions will continue to align and that they will bring much joy to each other. Bill points out he has "never heard Sean say anything cynical about Mansi and that's a wonderful thing!"

Devin is the Site Manager for Plaid's SLC office. Regarding his brother, Devin says "Sean is easily the strongest little person at this wedding." Apparently, it's an inside joke between the brothers. Devin writes: "I'm glad Sean & Mansi met. Sean is one of those ultimately unique people in this world - when he excitedly told me that someone "finally fundamentally understands me!" I was truthfully apprehensive. Surely nobody can fully understand this eccentric weirdo that I call brother. But then I saw that Mansi would be the sole viewer of Sean's live stream - where all he did was work (and sometimes talk about crypto or making kids cry in Super Smash Bros) - I believe Mansi does understand & love Sean. Nobody would do something that incredibly boring if not driven by profound love. Mansi, thanks for loving my brother!"
Alysia Halls

Of Sean, Nick says: "I have been friends with Sean now for more than half of my life. Our friendship has been one that has stuck through every phase of life and evolved to meet us as we change. Though there have been times when we didn’t see each other much it always picks up where it left off. I am confident when I see Sean that regardless of where I am at I can count on the same love he has always given me no matter what version of myself is standing in front of him. Sean has provided me inspiration and motivation creatively and encouraged me to be myself by always being himself. I love Sean like a brother and always will, in any and every stage of life that follows. From myself and Madison, we wish Mansi and Sean the very best and that they will continue to love each other as they have been, as they are, and as they become - that they will be able to grow individually and grow together as a couple; that as they face any issue they will continue to approach it as something to solve together.
