We grew up in the same city, walking the same streets and sharing the same stories, yet our paths never crossed—until fate, with a little bit of luck, decided it was finally time. I'm 31, working for an e-commerce company based in Dubai, and my fiancée is 27, working for a marketing agency in Dubai as well. Though we've both spent our lives in Dubai, we're returning to our roots for a hometown wedding in Mangalore, where we're both originally from. We've planned a celebration filled with festivities, bringing together friends and family, and we can't wait to share the magic of our wedding with everyone who wants to be part of this special journey.
