Different Roots. One Story.
We grew up on different continents, but it didn't take long to notice how much our families have in common. Here's a little about where each of us comes from.
Nepal
Where Milan grew up
Milan was born in Nepal and lived there until he was twelve. That's where he learned a lot about how to be a person: how to treat people, how to show up for family, and that there's always room for one more at the table.
He moved away, but he never lost his love for the culture or the food. Our ceremony on July 9 follows the Nepali traditions he grew up with, and he's looking forward to sharing them with everyone.
St. Lucia & Kenya
Where Whitney grew up
Whitney was born in Kenya to a St. Lucian mother and a British father with Irish heritage, and she grew up between Kenya and St. Lucia.
Kenya is where her story started, and it's full of family memories. St. Lucia is where her mother's family comes from, and where she picked up her love of a big family get-together.
She's proud of every part of her heritage, Kenyan, St. Lucian, British and Irish, and she's never felt she had to pick one. All of it shows up in how she loves people, how she celebrates, and how much her family means to her.
Now she's bringing all of it into our wedding, right alongside Milan's Nepali traditions.
Nepal, Kenya and St. Lucia, together for one week in July.
We can't wait to celebrate with you.
