Abhishek & Pratibha's story
👋 We are Abhishek Kalia and Pratibha Sharma, both in our 25 and 23, and soon to be husband and wife! We met through our family and since then our journey has been full of love, laughter, and adventures. By day, i am working and living in UK and my partner’s lives and works in india, but our favorite “job” is making memories together. 💕 We’d love for you to join our wedding — to dance, eat, celebrate, and experience the magic of Indian traditions with us. As we say in India, “Atithi Devo Bhava” — guests are like family. We can’t wait to welcome you! 🎶🍛✨
