Akhil and Bhavna’s love story begins from their college days. Akhil tried multiple times to get Bhavna’s attention and ultimately failed. Fast forward a few years, and fate decided to give it another shot. Akhil was invited to Bhavna’s 21st birthday, and in true Akhil fashion, he didn’t hold back. Confidently, he asked Bhavna if she’d be his plus one for the evening. What she didn’t know was that she was signing up to be his plus one for the rest of her life. They spent their whole first year just as “friends” , or as inside joke they used to call each other “fam”. Turns out, Bhavna had a crush on Akhil since high school but she was playing hard to get….for YEARS!!
Through their first year of being “friends,”, Bhavna was completing her MBA and Akhil was trying to get into Dental School. They built such a deep friendship and connection, that they became inseparable. Study sessions became dinners, dinners became late night phone calls, late night phone calls became all night phone calls. Their feelings grew and slowly but surely, they fell in love.
Eventually, a whole year later on Valentine’s Day, Akhil asked Bhavna to be his girlfriend (huge mistake, very expensive day).
From then on, their connection continued to deepen. Through every phase of life, building their careers, laughs, and all the growing pains, Bhavna and Akhil stuck by each other. Finally, after 7 years of being “fam”, as Akhil graduated Dental school, he knew that he had to make sure Bhavna knew how important she was to him. He saved for years to buy Bhavna’s engagement ring and was finally able to propose — thank god she said yes!
AND NOW! Bhavna and Akhil are throwing their BIG FAT INDIAN WEDDING in Cancun Mexico and are officially becoming Mr. & Mrs. “Fam”. They couldn’t imagine starting this new chapter of their lives without you by their side.
