Shriyash & Akshata's story
Our Love Story
It all began in August 2020 when fate brought us together. What started as a simple friendship quickly blossomed into something special. We shared laughter, dreams, and endless conversations, but when he confessed his feelings, I needed time to be sure of mine.
Eventually, love found its way into my heart, and we both knew we were meant for each other. Rather than rushing, we focused on building our careers and a strong foundation for the future. He worked hard and is now well-settled in an international company in Pune, while I followed my passion as a graphic designer, expressing creativity through painting, drawing, and designing.
Through challenges and milestones, we grew together in love and understanding. When the time was right, we shared our decision with our families, whose happiness made our journey even more beautiful.
Now, as we step into this new chapter, we're excited to celebrate our love with all of you!
