We met during graduate school, both far from home, and found comfort in each other while navigating a busy and unfamiliar chapter of our lives. Our days were filled with study sessions, long drives, grocery runs, and hours of talking about everything and nothing. We didn’t have grand plans or elaborate dates, but we had time together, and that quickly became our favorite thing. As we spent more time together, we became an important part of each other’s lives, finding ease and familiarity in one another. Our story is a beautiful blend of two cultures—Indian and Cuban. We have learned to embrace each other’s traditions and create something uniquely ours. Over time, our home has come to hold Christmas and Thanksgiving alongside Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali. From cooking garbanzos and dosas to learning each other’s languages—Spanish, Hindi, and even Tamil. We have loved becoming more deeply involved in each other’s worlds. After five years together, on a quiet beach in Puerto Rico, one of our most special moments unfolded in the simplest yet perfect way possible. We were so caught up in the moment that the answer didn’t even need to be said out loud—it was already there. We are so excited and grateful to celebrate this next chapter with the people we love most and cannot wait to welcome you to Mahabalipuram to be part of it.
