Ravya and Kabir met in California, where both their families live.
They quickly realised they were both from the same neighbourhood in the same city two generations ago.
They wanted to travel back to India, travel the country and get married where their families once lived.
The wedding was wildly unconventional — a eucalyptus altar, an heirloom dress and a reception in the tiny alleyways of Old Delhi.
Ravya’s dress was constructed by her friends using parts of her grandmother’s sari. It all came together beautifully and everyone she loves was there in spirit.
Coconut waters were had, deep fried naans were indulged in and interesting shop vendors were met along the way.
Ravya and Kabir together were magic.
Ravya couldn’t stop giggling at the fact that she was now someone’s wife, and Kabir couldn’t get his eyes off of her.
