The proposal
How they asked
Nila and Kiran met five years ago at a rooftop party neither of them wanted to attend, introduced by a friend who swears he saw it coming. One conversation about terrible coffee turned into a night that never quite ended. Since then it has been long drives, shared playlists and a shared dream of a home with a view. This November, on the very kind of rooftop where it all began, Kiran asked and Nila said yes. Now they would love nothing more than to have you there as they slip on the rings and begin the next chapter, together.

Cocktail chic. Think elegant dresses, sarees, tailored suits and jackets. The event is on an open rooftop, so a light layer for the evening breeze is a good idea.
