About the hosts
Paul & Saniya's story
It all started in the year 2013 with a simple message which eventually by time turned into late night chats and crazy conversations. On 2015, we decided to meet at a church and we understood that it was more than of a friendship. But like many Indian love stories, we faced challenges. In 2016, our parents found out and separated us by taking hold of our phones. But secretly we managed to speak through our friends and cousins. Through these struggles, our bond only grew stronger. With time, we developed a love full of adventure, road trips, and endless memories. In December 2024, we celebrated our Promise Ring Ceremony marking the acceptance of our love by our families and announcing our marriage on January 14, 2025.
This wedding isn't just a celebration of our love — it's a celebration of our promises kept. Join us as we laugh, dance, and create memories that last a lifetime.
