Krupa & Nikhil

How it beganOur story

A Library Encounter, 2019

Krupa and Nikhil first met while shelving books at the same quiet corner of the British Library, both reaching for the same volume on Gujarati folklore. They spent the next three hours talking over coffee, discovering shared roots and a mutual love of traditional music.

They have been building a life together ever since, and now they cannot wait to welcome you to celebrate their marriage.
