Dakshinya & Karthik — December 3, 2026

01 — Our Story

Nine Years in the Making

❦ ❦ ❦

It started in December 2017. Nine years of us since then.

We've done all of it side by side — new cities, new chapters, big dreams, and a thousand ordinary days that somehow became the best ones. Somewhere along the way one thing got obvious: home was never a place. It was always each other.

Now we're planning our biggest move yet. On December 3, 2026, in Hyderabad, we're getting married — and we want you there when it happens.

Dec 2017Where it began

9 YearsBuilt together

Dec 2026Forever begins

Dakshinya in a blue graduation gown over a red dress, standing on the grass with Karthik in a suit as they hold her cap together — Her *graduation*

Dakshinya in her gown — Karthik right there beside her.

Karthik in a light blue graduation gown and cap standing on the campus lawn with Dakshinya in a pink dress beside him — His *graduation*

Karthik in his gown — Dakshinya right there beside him.

We both attended each other's graduations — different caps, same front row. Whatever the milestone, we've never missed one of each other's.
