Wedding Party

Dhara and Matthew first crossed paths in nursing school and quickly formed a bond as close friends. Despite initially swearing off dating, their connection only grew stronger over the years. Fast forward to July of 2023, Matthew planned a birthday trip for Dhara where he ended up proposing. Since then, they have bought a home together and share their life with their puppy Everett. Although Dhara and Matthew have already had their civil wedding ceremony, they are eagerly anticipating their traditional Indian wedding, Dhara and Matthew are excited to unite their families and celebrate their love in a meaningful and joyous ceremony. They are looking forward to celebrating their friendship, love, and commitment, and they're thrilled to embark on this new chapter together.
