Our Story

Aanchal and Neel met in Spanish class at Clarksburg High School when their teacher "randomly" sat them next to each other. Neel noticed Aanchal’s love for music and offered to fill her iPod with a list of her favorite songs. They got to know each other by bonding over movies, music, dance and much more. They found that their friendship was growing stronger and stronger over the course of that one semester. It was shortly after, on October 6th, 2010 that Neel asked Aanchal to be his girlfriend. They took each day as a new experience, never taking the moments they shared together for granted. 8.5 years later, Neel asked the love of his life to be his forever! He surprised Aanchal by getting all of their friends and family to learn a fully choreographed flash mob dance. And on the afternoon of April 6th 2019, Aanchal walked to the Washington Harbour where she was greeted by a dancing crowd and, of course, her prince charming… and surprise… she said YES to being his forever.

CEREMONY 12:30PM - 4:00PM

The traditional Indian ceremony will begin with the Baraat (procession of the groom). Neel and his family/friends will be arriving, while Aanchal's family awaits to welcome them and bring Neel to the Mundap (altar). After Neel reaches the Mundap, the ceremony begins. We will then see the entrance of Aanchal as she will come to the mundap to continue the rest of the ceremony.
Please note that lunch is not being served; however, we will have light snacks and refreshments at the ceremony.
