She was a California girl, raised by the sunshine, and he was a Boston guy, born with a love for Red Sox games and East Coast summers. Though they once walked the same college town streets—Radhika at Boston University and Rudra at UMass Lowell—life had a different plan. Their paths finally crossed on February 18, 2022, in California, when they met for their first date. From that night on, it was clear: they had found something special.

Over plates of tacos and guacamole, they discovered they were a perfect match, sharing an instant connection and an unbreakable love for Mexican food and each other’s laughter. What began as a casual connection quickly turned into a bond filled with endless joy, cross-country flights, and a shared love for all the world has to offer.

From the beaches of Mexico to the city lights of London, the art of Paris, and the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii, they’ve created memories in places they once dreamed of visiting, each trip strengthening the love and friendship they now cherish. A little older, a lot more in love, and with countless adventures yet to come, they’re ready to take the next big step together.

With family and friends by their side, Radhika and Rudra invite you to celebrate the beginning of their forever love story. Here’s to a weekend filled with love, laughter, and a lifetime of happiness ahead!
