Akriti&Sanchit
Two days of love, laughter, music & mountains
Machate hai.. ⏳
Our Story..
It was serendipity that we met at a party (of course!). After many "so when's the date?" nudges from family and friends, the wait is finally over.
She's mercurial with premium-grade tantrums; he answers life with a steady "chill hai." He brews chai and cooks like it's a love language; she brings cricket scores, new flavours, and a circle of friends. We love a good party and a house full of people—happiest with a crowd and a view.
#SaAki (aka Saaqi) because it's part us, part poetry—the one who keeps the mehfil alive, refilling the jaam of love, joy and celebration.
We built this website together to make your plans easy, and we can't wait to spend two days in the hills with you.
