Abhinaba & Anita's story
Our story is a bit interesting. π Once upon a time, I used to scold him for his surname and nickname for a reason. He always listened with a sweet smile and used to say, 'There's nothing in the name.' And from there, now we're about to get married π. We're tying the knot and would love to have you with us on our special day! Your presence will make our celebration even more memorable. Please mark the date and join us as we begin this beautiful journey together!
