How it all began

Our Love Story

It began with our families

Our story didn't start with a chance meeting. It started with the people who love us most, when our families introduced us to each other.

Across time zones

Anish was living in the United States and Shiwani was living in Australia. One of us was saying good morning while the other was saying good night, and still the conversations never ran out.

Finally, in person

Those long calls slowly became something meaningful. Then Anish boarded a flight to Australia so that we could finally meet face to face.

A promise

During that visit, Anish gave Shiwani a promise ring. It was a small ring holding a very big promise.

With our families' blessings

With the love and blessings of both our families, we decided to begin our new journey together.
