Meet Chandni and Jack
The bride tells us, “Jack and I met in math class in the 7th grade. We started out as just friends, and what blossomed after that was the purest story of love. Over the course of 15 years, we’ve shared so many milestones together: the 8th grade dance, high school senior prom, late-night drives between Pennsylvania and New Jersey (between both of our colleges), getting engaged in Positano, Italy, and moving into our first apartment together in New York City.”

About The Wedding
Our wedding took place on June 21, 2024. When it came time to decide the theme, mood, colors, and overall feeling of each event – I was super specific in what I wanted. I looked to films, art, publications, and fashion for inspiration. I created 5 separate moodboards for each event and decided on a unique color palette for each. However, I was most excited to begin planning the wedding moodboard. For the wedding, our venue was so unique and one of the reasons why we picked Sintra. It was traditional, classic, and regal. I had seen so many designs of a ‘traditional mandap’ and immediately decided that I wanted to do something different – something more romantic. My planner, designer, and I eventually thought of life-like paper mache flowers. We decided to line them down the aisle, as well as surround / crowd us right by our seats. It created such a beautiful, tranquil, and different atmosphere. I was absolutely in awe.
