About the hosts
Joel & Julia's story
Some love stories begin with chance. Ours began with faith — in family, tradition, and the quiet magic of two people choosing each other.
Introduced through an arranged setup, what started as a formal meeting soon became something real. Though miles apart — one in New Zealand, the other in India — we found time across time zones to build something strong and true.
Ours isn’t a fairy tale, but a love built with intention, patience, and deep respect. “Arranged” became something natural — not just finding the right person, but becoming the right people, together.
Your presence on this day means everything to us. You’re not just guests — you’re part of this journey. With you here, the day becomes unforgettable.

Engagement Ceremony
A Glimpse into a Pentecostal Engagement
It’s more than just a ceremony — it’s a heartfelt gathering rooted in love, faith, and family.
The day begins with two families coming together, not just to confirm a couple’s future, but to celebrate a beautiful union that’s been prayerfully considered. There’s a sense of warmth in the air — hugs, laughter, and that unmistakable joy of two homes becoming one.
A short worship session sets the tone, often led by a pastor or elder. There’s music, heartfelt prayers, and blessings spoken over the couple. You’ll feel the spiritual essence — simple, yet deeply moving.
Then comes the ring exchange, a symbolic step, often done modestly, but filled with meaning. It’s not flashy, but intentional — a promise made before God and loved ones.
And of course, no celebration is complete without delicious food and lively conversations.
