Gatik & Sandra · 1999 — 2026
Some love stories begin with a grand gesture.
Ours began with an old Fiat and a yellow salwar kameez.

Some love stories begin with a grand gesture.
Some begin with violins, candlelight, or poetry.
Ours began with two very different people, from two very different worlds, walking into the same workplace in Delhi in 1999 — neither of them knowing that life had quietly started writing its most important chapter.
This is the story of Gatik and Sandra.
A story of mischief and discipline.
Of faith and family.
Of old Fiats and yellow salwar kameezes.
Of two ceremonies, two daughters, one business, one migration, and many, many decisions made in our own way.
And twenty-five years later, we pause to celebrate not just the day we got married, but everything that came before it, everything that came after it, and everyone who has walked with us along the way.
One a charmer. One a quiet force. Neither knew the other existed.
There was a yellow salwar kameez. There was a birthday phone call waited for like a verdict. There was a shopping trip that only one of them knew was a date.
Some proposals happen under the stars. This one happened differently.
Two ceremonies. One promise. Completely theirs.
Nothing was going to stop them now.
Fifteen years later, the dream called again. This time, they answered.
The most beautiful chapter is the one yet to be written.
You are receiving this because you are part of this story.
Not as a guest. As a chapter. Some of you knew me before Sandra. Some of you knew Sandra before me. Some of you watched us figure out what love actually means. Some of you have only just entered our world — but entered it at exactly the right time.
On 26 December 2026, Sandra and I will celebrate 25 years of a life built entirely on our own terms. There will be a story read aloud. There will be performances. There will be laughter, and probably a few tears, and then a great deal of dancing.
We cannot wait to have you there.
