On January 31, 2022,, Neil and Megha will gather before family and friends to renew their vows after 17 years of marriage.

Neil and Megha first met in 2003. Megha had recently gone through a tough breakup and was out with some childhood friends. As fate would have it, she ran into an old acquaintance who introduced her to his friend Neil.

The two hit it off and ended up chatting for the whole evening. As the night drew to a close, Neil asked for Megha’s number. He then accidentally lost it. Thankfully, she was still at the bar so he was able to ask her again. Although, as he was leaving, he dropped the piece of paper in a puddle and could no longer read her number! Fortunately, Neil had made quite an impression on Megha and she decided to take the initiative and email him the next morning. And the rest is history.

As Neil and Megha began dating and getting to know each other, they soon learned about all of their many connections. Most notably, how Megha’s dad and Neil’s mom grew up in the same building in India! After dating for about two years, Neil and Megha were married and within a few years, welcomed twins.

In February of 2020, just before the pandemic hit, Neil started experiencing severe stomach and back pain. Initially he thought that it was acid reflux, but after his doctor ran several scans and tests, he was given devastating news. He was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

He immediately began an aggressive chemotherapy regiment to try to battle his cancer and has suffered incredibly difficult side effects as a result of his treatment. He continues to fight hard for his beautiful family and to maintain a positive and hopeful outlook in the face of enormous uncertainty.

We have loved meeting this sweet couple and could not be more thrilled to grant their wish for a vow renewal.
