Ria & Prabhu’s Golden-Themed Wedding At Napa Valley

Ria and Prabhu's love story started in the most modern way possible—on Bumble, in the lively city of Seattle. From their very first conversation, they felt an undeniable connection that quickly led to several unforgettable dates filled with laughter, deep conversations, and shared adventures. However, their relationship took a pivotal turn when Prabhu met Ria's cherished dog. The furry companion’s enthusiastic approval sealed the deal, marking the moment their bond transformed into a beautiful and committed partnership. 

Proposal Story

Prabhu's proposal was nothing short of magical. During a trip to Seattle for Ria's good friend's birthday, Prabhu orchestrated a surprise at the iconic Seattle Ferris Wheel. Knowing that Ria had always dreamed of riding it with her forever person, he decorated the gondola with photos of their journey together and a playful cutout of Ria's dog. The intimate and heartfelt gesture made for an unforgettable and deeply personal moment.
