Due to unexpected circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to cancel both the wedding shower and the Nepalese ceremony. Unfortunately, Nepal was added to the visa bond program in January, and Avi’s parents’ travel visa was denied as a result. This has been deeply disappointing for our family, as we were very much looking forward to uniting the families and celebrating together.

After much thought, we determined that it would not feel right to hold the wedding shower without Avi’s family present to share in such a meaningful occasion and to meet the many loved ones who have supported us.

For the same reason, we have chosen to postpone the Nepalese ceremony. Instead, we plan to celebrate our wedding with Avi’s family when we travel to Nepal in November. Although this is not the path we originally envisioned, we are grateful that we will still have the opportunity to honor this important tradition surrounded by family.

Although the Nepalese ceremony will not take place as originally planned, we will still incorporate Nepalese elements and aesthetics into our celebrations. Guests who wish to do so are warmly encouraged to wear traditional Nepalese attire or Indo-Western fusion outfits.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time. Your love and support mean more to us than words can express, and we look forward to celebrating with you all.

With all our love and gratitude,

Avi & Lexi
