“We came to a bridge next to the Sumit dental school and I saw Sumit waiting on the bridge,” Niraja said. “I immediately started crying before I could say anything. I ran in super high heels and I was freezing, but it didn’t matter because seeing Sumit waiting for me was probably the most exciting thing I’ve ever seen. ”

The couple will tie the knot on April 1, 2021 at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel.
“Yes, it is April Fools’ Day, but hey, it will be easy to remember and there is no festival in New Orleans at the time,” Niraja said. “We expect 430 people. We fell in love with the high ceilings of the Armstrong Ballroom at the Sheraton. ”

The Indian wedding will take place over three days and will include traditional Indian food with a New Orleans twist, Niraja said.
“We have always wanted a great Indian wedding, like our parents,” he added. “We want to have a great Indian / New Orleans style wedding. We have always believed in this motto: “Indian roots with American dreams.”
