Our Story

  1. 2019

    First meeting

    We were introduced by mutual friends at a Diwali party, and spent the whole evening arguing about the best filter coffee in town.

  2. 2021

    Made it official

    After two years of long-distance calls and terrible video connections, we finally moved to the same city.

  3. 2025

    The proposal

    Mithusan asked at the same coffee shop where the filter coffee argument began. Mathuscha said yes before he finished the sentence.

  4. 2027

    The wedding

    And now, surrounded by family, friends, marigolds and (hopefully) good filter coffee, we're getting married.

கேள்விகள்

Good to Know

What should I wear?

Indian formal / festive wear is very welcome (and encouraged!) at every function — but absolutely not required if you don't have any. Each event page above lists a suggested colour palette. The one hard rule: please avoid white or black at the Vivaah ceremony, as those colours are traditionally associated with mourning.

What actually happens at a Hindu wedding?

In short: a series of joyful, music-filled functions over a few days, building up to the Vivaah — the main ceremony where the couple takes seven steps (saat phere) around a sacred fire, each one a promise to the other. It's less formal and much louder than a typical Western wedding — think of it as several parties with a beautiful ceremony in the middle. We'll have programs at each event explaining what's happening.

Are children welcome?

Absolutely. If you'd prefer an adults-only evening at the Reception, just let us know on the RSVP form and we'll point you to some excellent babysitting options once the venue is confirmed.

Is food vegetarian?

All wedding meals will be vegetarian, with Jain and vegan options clearly marked. Please flag any other dietary needs on the RSVP form.

Gifts?

Your presence (and the journey it takes to get here) is genuinely present enough. If you'd still like to give something, a small note in the card is more than welcome.
