It’s a long journey that requires a lot of travel and coordination. I live in New Delhi and Joseph lives in Mumbai. We had to find several excuses to meet up, both in a new country and in our hometowns. At the end of 2016, we decided to get married. “
The couple got engaged in December 2016 and tied the knot in a private ceremony at Devika’s farmhouse on February 17, 2017. Joseph said of marriage in an interview:
One of the biggest influencing factors is our choice of wedding photographer. We wanted Canada’s Erica Mann and Lenny Mann (also our friends) to capture these special moments. Since it would be very cold in their home country at that time, it also meant they had relatively few work commitments. “
