One Message at a Time
Connected on WhatsApp, one message a day soon became hours of late-night conversation. Between stories about life, laughter, and games of Uno, something meaningful began to take shape.
California, In Person
Raghu’s visit to Sanjanaa in California brought our connection out of the chat and into the world. The ease we had found in conversation felt just as natural side by side.
New York, Together
When Sanjanaa visited Raghu in New York City, she stepped into his corner of the world. Sharing the city made the distance feel smaller - and our future feel closer.
Choosing Forever
Through every conversation and journey, the answer became beautifully clear: we wanted to build a life together. We decided to get married - and choose each other, forever.
