Our Wedding

Maneesh and Jina first met back in 2014 as they were starting medical school on the Caribbean island of Antigua. Maneesh noticed Jina in class and soon after meeting her said that it was her bright smile, contagious laugh,&nbsp;BIG BRAIN, and bright personality being able to bring up the spirits of everyone around that made Maneesh interested. The first few months of knowing each other, Maneesh would zip by her to the front of class and he would ask her to come up to the front everyday while on his way. But, Jina and her friends thought they were too cool for school and stayed in the back. As the first semester continued along, they developed a lot of mutual friends who are still a huge part of their lives today. On one of the last nights of the semester, they went to a party at Peppers and Lime in Antigua where they talked all night. They later had their first date at Le Bistro, and the rest was pretty much history.&nbsp; After finishing up in Antigua, they have had years of making great new friends along the way. They got to live in a variety of different cities including Atlanta, NYC, and sadly Utica (just kidding) before ultimately matching for residency in Syracuse, NY. Maneesh ended up surprising Jina when he proposed on the beach in Miami, Florida on February 8, 2021. He had convinced her that they were doing a beach brunch and when they got to the beach there was “will you marry me” written in the sand and a surprise photographer&nbsp;to capture the moment on video (if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to ask)! Jina instantly said yes! Maneesh and Jina are planning to get married in Princeton, NJ near Jina’s hometown in September, 2022, and cannot wait to celebrate with so many of their loved ones who are attending from all over the world!&nbsp;
