Just Signatures!
Gourav and I have signed thousands of official files, but the one we signed on 23/4 felt the most important. Just the two of us, our loving parents and the most amazing DM office staff(romantic, isn't it?).
Convincing Indian parents to go from "shaadi ka function" to "court function" wasn’t easy. In a country where the guest list often starts at 400, making it 4 felt bigger than a national policy reform. But love, persistence, and a bit of bureaucratic persuasion eventually did the trick.
We got lucky (again). Not sure if moved by our minimalist philosophy or maybe too tired to argue with us anymore - but they finally settled for just signatures.
Here's to simplicity, convincing parents and starting our journey together!
