After some well-intentioned scheming, the women swapped Kajals and Rajs numbers and passed them on.
Raj messaged Kajal first, saying: Hi, its Raj.
Things really started fast the first two weeks over texts and video calls.

The plan was for me to make Kajal a cocktail before we went for a walk, Raj says.
Things didnt go according to plan, however.
My bright and green kiwi mojito somehow turned out tart and brown.
Luckily for me, Kajal still pretended to like it.
Adds Kajal, Raj definitely has improved his cocktail-making abilities since then!
The two got engaged in 2022 while on a two-week surprise graduation trip to celebrate Kajal finishing pharmacy school.
It didnt matter, thoughKajal was filled with emotion and remained stunned by the scenery around her.
[The ring was] just the way I had imagined it, Kajal says.
The wedding took place March 9 to 11, 2024, in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The couple worked with Rupal Patel fromMalenia Eventsto plan everythingand their families were closely involved too.
Raj and I both value family and wanted to include them in the process, Kajal says.
One of the most important elements of the planning for Kajal was decor.
With that being said,Prashe Wedding Decorwent above and beyond what we could have asked for.
For the wedding itself, the bride knew she wanted a clean white look.
They were able to make this dream of mine a reality on our wedding day!
The fresh white florals and clean-looking mandap were beyond my wildest dream.
Luckily, they were able to make Rajs attire as well.
We used the same handwork embroidery on his vest and a similar plain marigold color for his undergarment pieces.
Kajal was also able to find her sangeet look at Label Anushree: a long, flowing dress.
