The night
Dev and Anaya met on a rain-soaked Mumbai evening, sharing one umbrella and a plate of vada pav outside a Bandra café. Six years, countless road trips and one very well-timed proposal on Juhu Beach later, they're ready to raise a glass to forever. They said their vows quietly, with family — and now they want to throw the party of the year with everyone they love. Black tie, champagne, a live band and a dance floor that won't quit. Come celebrate with us.
