Story
Where does our story begin?
Our story begins Thanksgiving weekend of 2015 in Mayakoba, Mexico. Anand's sister and brother-in-law were getting ready to tie the knot, but little did Anand know this would be where he would meet his future wife. Anand has always been quick to make decisions, and as he first laid eyes on Neha, he knew she was someone special. Over the next few days, Anand and Neha lit a spark that would continue to grow for many years, standing the test of long distance, medical school, business school, and more.
After patiently waiting six years, Anand pulled off the proposal of a lifetime. He planned a birthday trip for Neha to the Bahamas, but what Neha didn't know was that he arranged to fly both his and her family out to join them for a weekend of celebrations. As Neha and Anand set sail for what she thought was a private sunset cruise around the island, both families emerged from the cabin just as Anand got down on one knee. After a long speech from a nervous Anand and a quick "Yes" from a shocked Neha, the couple toasted to their future together, with all their loved ones by their side.
