Our Story

Chicago, summer 2022

Maya's family had been in Chicago for thirty years. Chris had been in Chicago for three months. They met at a friend's housewarming where neither knew anyone else. Two hours of small talk on the back porch turned into three weeks of dinner reservations.

Two families, one big plan

Maya's family flew in from Pune and Mumbai for the engagement. Chris's family drove down from Vermont. Both sets of parents got along better than we did. We took that as the sign.

Why Tuscany

Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Vermont, Toronto, Sydney. Nobody calls Italy home, but everyone can land there. Three days in one villa with the cousins our families never get long enough with. The kind of time we wanted to give the people we love.

Q and A photo

Q & A

What is the dress code?

Welcome Dinner: summer-chic, comfortable. Sangeet: lehengas, sherwanis, anything festive. Ceremony: Indian formal or western black tie, both very welcome.

Will there be vegetarian options?

Of course. Italian vegetarian, Jain-friendly options, and gluten-free track. Tell Aanya when you RSVP.

How many days should we plan for?

Welcome dinner Friday, sangeet Saturday, ceremony + reception Sunday. We hope you can stay all three.

Should we extend our trip?

Yes, do it. Florence is 90 minutes away and Siena is 30. If you're flying this far, give yourself a few extra days. Ask Aanya if you want her shortlist of villas and a hill town she keeps trying to gatekeep.

Will photos be shared after the wedding?

Yes. We'll share a private link to the full gallery a couple of weeks after the ceremony. Same WhatsApp group, plus an email if you'd rather. Quiet album for family, not the public internet.
