Victoria and Chandan met each other in 2016, both residents in-training at the same hospital at the time. Each was struck by a shared sense of mischief, adventure, and playful humor. We soon discovered a mutual love of sweets, Galveston’s only club Bliss (Chandan with his “Gangnam style” dance moves, and Victoria with her Copperhead Road line dance obsession), and wandering the ArtWalk/Mardi Gras/etcetera festivals. They’ve been together ever since.

After a couple years of an East Coast-West Coast long-distance relationship, proceeding at a snail’s pace (during which Chandan was a backyard gardener by day, IM hospitalist by night; and Victoria completing a peds neuro fellowship), they reunited in ‘San Berdoo,’ before finally moving in together in Pasadena. A few of our favorite memories together through the years: numerous hikes, (over)indulging our sweet tooth, competing relentlessly for the affection of cute dogs, foraging at the local farmer’s markets for fruits and exotic items.

Chandan proposed to Victoria at what was becoming her favorite botanical garden, the Huntington. During a stroll through the lush Chinese Gardens, Chandan got down on one knee, popped the question…and out popped out paparazzi Akash and Melissa who had captured the moment. Needless to say, Victoria said yes!, and promptly purchased a Huntington membership

We are so excited for you to celebrate the culmination of seven years of laughs, hard work, and a whole lot of love with us at our wedding reception in April 2024!!

We truly appreciate all of your love and support over the last seven years, and are so grateful to give you an evening of fun, food, dancing, and drinks!
