Our Story
HOW WE MET
Our story started like most with a swipe right on a dating app. However, on our first date, Riddhima ran "a little" behind schedule. And by "a little", we mean three hours. While a last-minute trauma page kept her busy at the hospital, Sagar was convinced he had been ghosted. Lucky for us both, he had a friend in medicine who told him to wait it out.
Sagar waited. Riddhima sprinted to make it. But eventually, what was meant to be a 30 minute conversation turned into 3 hours of discovering shared values and interests, from travel, to food, to what we think is cinematic and musical excellence. Years later, Sagar's friends are still shocked that he found a girl who loves Zac Efron's Baywatch, listens to Pitbull on repeat, and dressed up as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy with him for Halloween.
THE PROPOSAL
The proposal was a total surprise. So much so that Riddhima tried canceling her trip to Chicago because "the washing machine isn't working just right". Unfortunately, Sagar's hints to wear something nice didn't register either. Nevertheless, her oversized jacket and beanie stayed on, the ring came out, and it was the best "yes" either of them could have imagined.
THE PATH TO TULUM
Throughout our relationship, we've committed to improbable travel on a residency schedule. Whether it was pulling off an 8 day trip to Japan or enjoying Paris while fighting the flu, we've loved exploring the world together. So much so that we can't wait to bring you all to Tulum with us and our families!
We love feeding our loved ones (aka: Sagar cooks while Riddhima hosts) and we're always searching for inspiration. We take a cooking class everywhere we go, with the ones in Oaxaca and Mexico City being our favorites so far. As some of our friends say, "Oaxacan cheese has become Sagar's entire personality". Come hungry to the wedding weekend - we have been constructing the worldly menu of our dreams!
