You're Invited

SHAHBAZ- Surani -

Rashmi and I have known each other since childhood—we grew up attending REC together in Hyderabad. We created so many memories back then, especially during a trip to Rishikesh. But life took us in different directions when I moved to the U.S., and we lost touch for 15 years... until fate brought us back together at a restaurant in Atlanta.

RASHMI- Gilani -

Seeing Rashmi again after all those years felt so natural. Our conversations picked up right where we left off, and in no time, we were going on date after date. It became clear that this was something truly special. I proposed, and now we’re preparing to celebrate our journey together with all the people we love.

OUR STORY

Our journey isn’t just about love—it’s about timing, faith, and rediscovery. From childhood memories to a chance reunion, we’ve traveled different paths only to find our way back to each other. What started as friendship has turned into something deeper and everlasting. This is our story—written by destiny, cherished by us, and now shared with you.

OUR FIRST MET

We met again after 15 long years in the most unexpected way—at a restaurant in Atlanta. I still remember the exact moment I saw Rashmi across the room. It was casual, unplanned, but something just clicked. We exchanged a simple “hello,” but it felt like picking up a conversation we had never truly ended. That day marked a new beginning—what started as a coincidence quickly turned into something extraordinary. That one encounter changed everything.

OUR FIRST DATE

Our first date was more than just dinner—it felt like catching up with someone I had known my whole life. We talked for hours, laughed effortlessly, and realized how naturally everything flowed between us. Each moment felt intentional, like the universe was nudging us closer with every shared smile and story. From that night forward, we knew this connection was something truly special.

HE PROPOSED

After a month filled with laughter, long conversations, and meaningful moments, I knew in my heart that this connection was something rare. I planned a beautiful evening and took Rashmi to a special restaurant—just the two of us. With emotions running high, I opened up about my feelings and intentions. It wasn’t a proposal, but it was the beginning of something real—an unspoken promise that our forever had begun.

AND TODAY... WE ARE GETTING MARRIED
