We first met in 2016 at Aashini's brother’s wedding, but it wasn’t until 2019 that we reconnected. After Aashini’s dance performance, Bhavik decided to send her a cheeky DM. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Our first date (and first selfie!) was one to remember. We had planned to go to Dishoom, but the random 30-degree London heatwave changed our plans, and we ended up at a pub instead. Six pints and a bowl of peanuts later, we both knew we'd found something special.

Our last picture together before Bhavik moved to the US and we officially became experts at FaceTime and airport goodbyes.

Even in the midst of lockdown (which, let’s be honest, didn’t really apply to Bhavik in Florida), we made the most of our long-distance relationship with plenty of virtual dates. Aashini, of course, always went a bit overboard with the aesthetics, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We never imagined it would be two years before we’d see each other again. After countless long-distance dates, we were finally back together.

2022 was all about making up for lost time, traveling anywhere and everywhere we could—near or far. It was the perfect excuse for overpacked suitcases (Aashini, we see you).

It all began on December 4th, 2019, when Bhavik asked Aashini to be his girlfriend. Four years later, on that very same date, in the Dominican Republic, he asked her to be his wife.

Our wedding, surrounded by our nearest and dearest, we wouldn’t want it any other way.

We are off to the Serengeti National Park and Zanzibar, Tanzania for our Honeymoon!
