It started outside of Gregory Hall at the University of Illinois during their first year of college. They were two young adults, from two very different backgrounds, experiencing a new chapter in their lives. Nihal, the fun-loving, loud, and spontaneous extrovert, had met his perfect match in Alaina, the introspective, intelligent, and loyal soul. They studied together and each other, noticing all of the intricacies of their story and realizing they weren't very different at all. Their parents raised them with the same ideals and values of honesty, open-mindedness, and respect for all. They discovered the same drive, to be the best they could be in every aspect of their lives, and to always appreciate those around them who helped them grow. And for that reason, Nihal and Alaina could not have a picked a more perfect way to celebrate their love and union with the most special of people and in the most magical place. See you in Chicago!
