OUR STORY

Our story begins in 2012, when we met at Menlo School during our freshman year of high school. We had 3 classes together and became close friends during the year. On September, 23, 2013, at the beginning of our sophomore year, we began to date. We spent our weekends together, taking day trips around the Bay Area, enjoying dances and proms, and spending time with family and friends.

Once college came around, we thought it would be best to go our separate ways because of the distance. We didn’t even make it 3 weeks before we started dating again! We survived 4 years of long distance, traveling between UPenn and Stanford during our breaks and summers.

After (virtually) graduating from college in 2020, we spent the next year together in the Bay Area, working and applying to grad school. While we hoped to end up in the same city, or at least the same coast, fate would have it that we switch states! Antonio is now in law school at UPenn, and Nika is in med school at UCSD. Even though flipping coasts means another 4 years of long distance, we know that our 9 years together have prepared us to tackle this next stage.

On June 1, 2021, during a trip to Bora Bora, Antonio found the perfect time to propose to Nika- on a sunset boat ride with family!

We are so excited for this next chapter and are thrilled to share it with you all!

You can drive, Uber/Lyft, or take a shuttle from one of the hotel blocks! There is parking on site!

The attire is black tie optional, so that means a tuxedo, a dark suit, a long, formal dress, or a dressy jumpsuit! Below are some rental and purchase options.

A quick note about COVID - our venues for each event are being held outside, so we will not be requiring masks (you can always wear them if you want, though!). However, we do request that our guests take an at-home rapid antigen COVID test prior to the Sangeet and prior to the Wedding Ceremony. You can purchase these tests at a local pharmacy, or on Amazon, using the link below. If you are having difficulties procuring at-home tests, please reach out.
