Our Wedding

It started with a basketball.Not a grand gesture, not a dramatic moment. Just two people who kept ending up on the same court, talking after games, and eventually not wanting to stop talking at all..We met in high school. Swaraj was older, Zeal was faster, and for years we were just friends who happened to love the same sport. Then COVID happened, the world slowed down, and somewhere in all that stillness we figured out the deeper connect that had been there the whole time..The 6 years that followed weren’t always easy, but love has a quiet way of finding its path. Over time, we realised we weren’t only longing for each other; we were longing for home, for our families, and for a life rooted in both. So we decided to chose all of it. Swaraj flew across the world to join his family’s business, and Zeal finished her Master’s degree from UPenn, and came back to offer her knowledge and training to the world from the place she felt home..We found ourselves back where our stories first began, surrounded by the people who have always been part of them. whole thing unfold, and we could not be more ready..Stay tuned for more...

Q + A

If you're traveling to be with us, please know that we genuinely want to make that as easy and enjoyable as possible. Getting to Surat from another city or another country comes with a lot of moving parts, and we don't want logistics to be the reason anyone hesitates. Reach out to us directly and we'll help you figure out the best way to get here, whether that means coordinating flights, suggesting the easiest routes, connecting you with the right people on the ground, or just helping you understand how the week is structured so you can plan around it. For guests coming from outside India, we know this trip is a big one, and we want it to feel worth every bit of the journey. We're happy to help with everything from the moment you land to the moment you leave. Accommodation options, airport transfers, getting around Surat during the week, just ask and we'll make sure you're taken care of. A little nudge for our international guests: please book your flights and accommodation sooner rather than later! It's the holiday season and prices will go up quickly. The earlier you sort it the better, and if you need any help at all or even just have a basic question about where to start, just reach out, we are happy to help. And if you've been looking for a reason to finally see more of India, this is it. Whether you want to arrive a few days early, stay on after the celebrations, or build a longer trip around the wedding week, we'd love to help you put something together. India has a lot to offer and we have a lot of opinions about where to go. Tell us what you're drawn to, the mountains, the coast, the history, the food, and we'll put together itinerary ideas that actually make sense for the time you have. Don't feel like you're asking for too much. Get in touch and we'll figure it out together. You're also more than welcome to reach out directly to our wonderful wedding planning team at Pehchaan Events, who are coordinating everything on the ground and will be happy to help with any questions you have. You can reach them at +91 9274776741.
