Some love stories are written with the ink of destiny, and Shivani and Aniruddh’s is certainly one of them. Their journey is a blend of emotions, sacrifice, comedy, and most importantly, a deep, unwavering friendship that blossomed into a lifetime of love.
Their first meeting takes them back to 2014. Shivani had recently moved to the United States and was just starting to build her circle of Indian friends at college. One day, while sitting on a couch in one of the campus buildings, she was introduced to Aniruddh — or Ani, as everyone lovingly calls him. Both were computer science majors, and their friends thought they’d make great study partners. Neither of them knew at the time that this casual introduction would evolve into something extraordinary.
Even as teenagers, both Shivani and Ani had one thing clear — they wanted a wedding fit for royalty. Long before “destination weddings” became a trend, both had quietly dreamt of saying “I do” in a grand palace, surrounded by heritage and elegance. And they wanted to make that dream come true on their terms — with their own hard-earned money.
Years passed, careers flourished, and love grew stronger. Once they felt financially secure, Shivani and Aniruddh set out to plan their dream wedding — every detail curated with love, precision, and a shared vision of luxury. From couture fashion to opulent décor, they left no stone unturned. The most emotional part? They did it all without external help, making each choice and every payment themselves.
