The childhood friends remained close, catching up whenever they were in the same city. Their friendship deepened during the pandemic, when daily conversations became their new norm. After their long-awaited first date, both felt it was worth trying a long-distance relationship. &#8220;Our relationship came as an unexpected surprise to both of us since we had been friends for so long, which, in our opinion, is the best way to start a relationship,&#8221; Reena says.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In September 2022, during a dreamy vacation in Greece and Lisbon, Ankit planned the perfect proposal in Santorini. &#8220;I don&#8217;t remember anything he said, but I do remember his face, the beautiful weather, scenic view, and, of course, how much love I felt for him in that moment. And, of course, the ring!&#8221; Reena says.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The couple celebrated their union in November 2023 with a traditional Indian wedding. The festivities kicked off with a colorful sangeet at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/vendor\/the-astorian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Astorian<\/a>, with dancing and performances. The wedding ceremony was held at the stunning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/vendor\/the-corinthian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Corinthian Houston<\/a>, which was adorned with soft-hued florals and verdant greenery.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">An intimate cocktail hour followed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/vendor\/vault-at-corinthian-houston\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Vault at Corinthian Houston<\/a> before the grand reception, which dazzled in silver, black and blue. &#8220;We spent a lot of time practicing our first dance, so getting to perform that was fun and exciting,&#8221; Reena says. The couple&#8217;s wedding was made even more memorable, with family and friends traveling from around the world and sharing in a joyful week of festivities together.<\/span><span
