Our Wedding

We met in undergrad at UCSB (go Gauchos!) and once Celeste graduated, she began her PhD in New York City and while Chinmay finished up his Master’s at UCSB. We’ve been doing long-distance ever since, but the distance has gotten a little closer after Chinmay also moved across the country to pursue his PhD in New Hampshire. Over the past few years, we’ve gotten the chance to share food, travel, and most importantly, lots and lots of love. We are so excited to spend our lives together, and equally excited to begin our journey surrounded by the people who love us most (that’s you!)
