Our Story

Two families, joining hands

Engagement photos
coming soon

Jocelyn grew up in a Chinese Catholic family; Devanshu in a Hindu Punjabi one. Our wedding brings both worlds together — a church ceremony and a tea ceremony, a sangeet and seven pheras around the sacred fire — over one unforgettable June weekend.

The full story of how we met (and photos from our engagement shoot) will live here soon. For now: mark your calendars, and get ready to celebrate with us.
