Karthik

Meet the Groom

Foodie. Photographer. Delhi Soul. South Indian Heart.

Born and brought up in the vibrant heart of Delhi, Karthik is South Indian at soul—with a delicious twist! He has a lifelong romance with rajma, yet can’t resist the crispy charm of dosas or the flaky magic of Malabar parota.

If he’s not tracking down hidden food gems, you’ll find him behind a camera lens, capturing the world with an artist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart. For Karthik, every frame and every flavor is a celebration of life’s joyful blend!

Sangeetha

Meet the Bride

Spicy Spirit. Tech Whiz. Board Game Queen. Pattukottai's Pride.

Born and raised in the vibrant town of Pattukottai, Sangeetha is a dynamo of tech brilliance and boundless energy! Whether she’s dominating a board game or binge-watching the latest Korean drama, she’s always on the hunt for her next adventure. When it comes to food, she’s all about bold, fiery spicy flavors—but don’t even think about offering her sweets!

When she's not solving puzzles or winning epic matches, you’ll catch her vibing to Blackpink or striking a pose in front of the camera—her ultimate happy place. For Sangeetha, life’s a game, every flavor’s a challenge, and each moment is a chance to live out loud with passion and style!
