Welcome to our wedding website! We're thrilled to share our love story with you, from that hesitant swipe on a dating app to our deep love for each other.

It all began in the digital realm of the concrete jungle. Both of us, recently moved to NYC and turned to technology in search of a meaningful connection. Little did we know, our paths were about to intertwine in the most unexpected and delightful way.

Sarika's Perspective:

I had just moved to New York, a city as vast and unpredictable as the digital realm I was about to explore. Armed with a hopeful heart and a healthy dose of skepticism, I dove headfirst into the digital abyss, in search of my very own Prince Charming. I came across Rutvik’s profile and I was instantly attracted to his smile, not to mention his good looks and witty bio. I still didn’t swipe right. Problem? He was on the top 10 profiles of the week. So I knew he was popular and decided if it’s meant to be he will come to me. And he did, in typical Rutvik fashion, few months late. I met Rutvik for the first time at a bustling bar in the heart of New York City. As I waited, I couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement mixed with anticipation. Seeing him for the first time, I couldn’t help but smile. There was something about Rutviks’ presence that immediately put me at ease, as if we were old friends reuniting after years apart. Rutvik’s laughter was infectious, and soon we were sharing stories and dreams as if we had known each other for a lifetime.

Rutvik's Perspective:

As fate would have it, I moved back to NYC after the pandemic. Jaded but still determined to find a great partner, I reactivated my dating app and started scrolling and swiping. I came across a pretty Indian girl but I paused - she had a pic with a dog. I scrutinized her profile really hoping it wasn’t actually her dog. I deliberated hard and long before swiping right. It turned out to be one of my most crucial sessions of unnecessary overthinking as Sarika and I matched online shortly. We started chatting online with small talk but I was eager to dive into more meaningful conversations. I proposed that we grab a drink and Sarika suggested a bar convenient only for her. I didn’t overthink this one, I just agreed and showed up. I walked into the bar and my eyes lit up when I saw Sarika. I was stunned, she looked even more beautiful than her pictures, and I knew that I had to charm her. After our first date, we met regularly getting to know each other more intimately bit by bit. Causal dates would turn into weekend long hangouts. Romance blended into friendship. We got closer over time and knew that if there was anything worth trying - it was our relationship.

Our Perspective:

From witty banter to heartfelt exchanges, we soon realized that we were building something special—a foundation of friendship and understanding that laid the groundwork for a deep and meaningful bond. As our relationship blossomed, we embarked on adventures together, exploring new places, trying new cuisines, and creating cherished memories along the way. Each moment strengthened our connection, reinforcing the love and admiration we felt for one another. Together, we navigated life's twists and turns, growing closer with each passing day. And now, as we stand on the brink of forever, we are filled with gratitude for the journey that brought us here.

As we embark on this new chapter together, we invite you to join us in celebrating our love and commitment to each other. Thank you for being a part of our story, and we can't wait to create many more beautiful memories together.

With love,

Sarika & Rutvik
