Kirtan and I first met each other in 2003 but our story together begins three years later. In 2006 we reconnected with each other over AIM, talking to each other for hours on end, and our relationship flourished from there. Since we began talking around Navratri, Kirtan and I would sneak around to meet each other at Garba events – which we did because we were the eldest children in an Indian family with worried parents but my mom now tells me that we were not fooling anyone. On October 16, 2006, Kirtan finally asked me to be his girlfriend and the rest is history. For the past several years, we have gone through our fair share of ups and downs but we have overcome them together and our love for each other has only grown deeper. We finally decided to take our relationship to the next step and Kirtan had to figure out how to bring my proposal Pinterest board to life. Preparations had begun some months in advance, including figuring out the decorations and most importantly, how to make it snow on an Autumn night in New Jersey. On September 26, 2020, Kirtan was able to make all of my impossible dreams possible - his proposal was exactly what I had always dreamt of, if not more. Kirtan and I are so excited to begin our life together and get married exactly 15 years later from the day our love story began! We cannot wait to celebrate our special day with all of our beloved family and friends and hope to see you there!
