FAQs
Question
How did you crazy kids meet?
Answer
We matched on Hinge just as Hannah stopped checking it : / , so we REmatched on Bumble a year later.
Question
Is this really your third wedding?!
Answer
YES! We had a small, legal ceremony at the North Point Lighthouse in Milwaukee, WI, in November of 2023. On January 6, 2025, we got married in Kerala, India (Rahul's home state). And now here we are, celebrating with all of you at Olbrich Botanical Gardens--one of our favorite places in Madison!
Question
What else should we do while we're in town?
Answer
On Saturday morning, head to the Dane County Farmers' Market--the largest producer-only farmers’ market in the country! Don't sleep on the spicy cheese bread from Stella's! If you have kiddos, the Madison Children's Museum is a blast! Looking for time on/near the lakes? Head to Memorial Union Terrace for excellent sunsets, live music, ice cream, Wisconsin brews (if you're into that kind of thing), and impeccable vibes. You can also rent canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards at Olbrich Park (right across from the wedding venue) or many other locations around town.
Question
Where should we eat?
Answer
For excellent food, hit up some of the restaurants on Williamson (known locally as "Willy") Street! Some of our favorites are Ahan, Tex Tubb's, Buraka, Ama Kitchen, and Weary Traveler Freehouse. Staying near the capitol? Try Wisconsinite favorites at The Old Fashioned, pizza at Lucille, brunch at Marigold Kitchen, or anything at Mishqui Peruvian Bistro. Our favorite Mexican restaurant in town? El Sabor de Puebla--a great, affordable "hole in the wall" spot (305 N 4th St) with lovely staff and tasty sopes. Feeling like Indian? We recommend Amber Indian Cuisine or Kutty Leaf South Indian Kitchen. (You'll need to order from both if you won't have a car.)
