Our Story

Two families, one story

✦

Two families, two cities, one unbelievably long WhatsApp chat — here is how we got here.

  1. A chai stall in Ahmedabad

    2019

    A chai stall in Ahmedabad

    We first met at a friend’s Diwali get-together. Nisha was arguing about the right way to brew masala chai. Hitesh disagreed loudly. They’ve been arguing ever since.

  2. The first trip together

    2021

    The first trip together

    A long weekend in Udaipur turned into matching kurta photos at every ghat and a quiet decision that this was something serious.

  3. Meeting the families

    2023

    Meeting the families

    Two sets of parents, one extremely overcooked paneer, and a shared dessert plate that somehow sealed the deal.

  4. The proposal

    2024

    The proposal

    On a quiet rooftop in Bhaner, with the city lights below, Hitesh asked. Nisha said yes before he finished the sentence.

  5. Our wedding day

    2026

    Our wedding day

    And now—with the blessings of our families—we get to do the rest of our lives together. We hope you will be there with us.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked

✦

If something isn't here, just text us — we're easy to reach.

Can I bring my children? +

We love your kids, but this is an adults-focused celebration. Please reach out if you are travelling from out of town — we can suggest reliable babysitting near the hotels.

Am I allowed a plus-one? +

If your invitation lists a plus-one, absolutely — please include their name in your RSVP. If you are unsure, just ask us.

What’s the dress code? +

Traditional Indian festive is encouraged. Smart Western cocktail attire is equally welcome. Please avoid pure white, ivory, or black for the main ceremony.

What is the weather like in late June? +

Ahmedabad in June is warm (32–38°C) and the monsoon usually begins mid-month, so light rain is possible. The venue has full covered seating and we have a tented backup plan for everything.

Is parking available at the venue? +

Yes — free on-site parking and overflow parking just across the road. A shuttle from the recommended hotels also runs all day.

What time should I actually arrive? +

Please be seated by 3:45 PM on 26 June for the pheras (main ceremony). Arriving from 11:30 AM onwards is wonderful — we will have food, drinks, and music ready.

Will the ceremony be in English? +

The pheras are in Sanskrit, with key moments translated into English by our pandit so everyone can follow along. We will also have a small program guide at every seat.

Do you have a gift policy? +

Your presence is our gift. If you would like to give something, our registry and honeymoon fund are on the Registry page — a card with good wishes works equally well.

Can I share photos on social media? +

Please do! Use #HiteshWedsNisha so we can find them. We only ask that you put phones away during the pheras themselves so our photographer can do their job.

I have a dietary restriction — is that okay? +

Absolutely. The menu is fully vegetarian (Gujarati thaali style). Let us know about nut allergies, Jain restrictions, or anything else in your RSVP and we will take care of it.
