Our Story

They say that the right person will come along at the right place at the right time. Whoever "they" is, "they" is correct. We have two major players involved in how we met: COVID and HINGE (the online dating app). Zeel was doing her residency in Columbia, SC while Michael was working in Macon, GA. Due to COVID, Michael's job in the event industry slowed down allowing him to visit his family and friends in Lexington, SC more. One well timed swipe right on HINGE was all it took. They met for dinner at Market on Main as their first date with him in a purple polo and her in a dress. They talked about all the usual things: their families, their backgrounds, their jobs, how they oddly lived in the same neighborhood in Aiken, SC but never crossed paths. One dinner led to another, which led to another, which led to another, and now here we are....ready to enjoy dinners together for a lifetime. We are so excited for everyone to come celebrate our special day with us. It will be a fusion wedding with traditions from Michael's Christian background and Zeel's Indian background. There will plenty of festivities but also some downtime to relax and rejuvenate along the way! If you know us, you know we like to have fun but we also like our relaxing time too. We look forward to seeing everyone in November 2025!
