It was a bright, sunny day in the summer of 1989 when two soulmates met for the first time at 30th and M Street in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. Little did they realize that their daughter would one day meet her own soulmate on a cold, full-moon night at 31st and M Street—just one block from where they had met 36 years earlier. On that fateful night of December 14, 2024, their daughter, Janhvi, met Tushar for the first time. Born oceans and continents apart, it was destiny that brought Tushar and Janhvi together. Tushar, a city boy from Mumbai, moved to the U.S. in 2018. After spending time in Houston and New York—where he had a near miss with Janhvi, who lived just a block away—work brought him to D.C. in January 2024. Meanwhile, Janhvi was born and raised in Maryland, and unlike Tushar, she spent most of her life within fifty miles of where she was born. Though they were introduced through modern-day dating, Janhvi and Tushar had their Bollywood moment on their very first date. They met at a busy restaurant along the Georgetown waterfront, and despite the noise and bustle around them, they were lost in conversation. To them, it felt as if time had stood still, even as the night passed in the blink of an eye. What felt like thirty minutes turned into five hours of effortless conversation, ending with a walk under the moonlight by the water. When it was time to part ways, both realized that something special had begun. Dropping Janhvi at the metro station was the hardest moment of the night for Tushar, uncertain if he would see her again. Meanwhile, Janhvi’s metro ride home was filled with nervous excitement as she kept checking her phone, hoping for a message from him. By the time she reached home, it arrived—Tushar asking her out on a second date. And thus began their love story. Over the next few months, Janhvi and Tushar met often at museums and coffee shops, where conversations flowed endlessly and closing hours seemed to arrive too soon. While it took time for their paths to finally cross, it didn’t take them long to realize that they were meant for each other. One summer evening in 2025, while the two were having takeout, Tushar asked Janhvi to close her eyes and picture her dream proposal. The first image that came to her mind was Sunset Cliffs in San Diego—a place she had fallen in love with years earlier. Knowing her busy schedule, Tushar set out to recreate that magic closer to home. He found the perfect spot in Newport, Rhode Island, surrounded by Gilded Age mansions and breathtaking views of the ocean cliffs. It was even more beautiful than Janhvi had imagined—and somehow, Tushar managed to keep it a secret until the very moment they landed in Rhode Island. As Tushar and Janhvi begin this new chapter of their lives together, they look forward to celebrating their wedding festivities with you at the Junior League in Houston, Texas!
