Our Wedding

Welcome to our wedding website! We’re excited to share our journey with you. Our story began in the vibrant city of Charlotte, NC, where we bonded over Hornets games, bike rides, Super Smash Bros, and corny jokes (mostly from Ravi, obviously). From spirited matches of our favorite boardgames to travel &amp; food adventures, our feelings for each other became apparent and stronger than we could have ever imagined.Ravi took our adventures to the next level when he proposed to Sona in the enchanting city of Jaipur, at Nahargarh Fort—the highest point overlooking the city. Surrounded by breathtaking views and the magic of the moment, it was a beautiful culmination of our shared passions and the love we’ve built together.Join us as we celebrate our love and the next chapter of our lives together!
