Counting Down
Our Story
What started as an endless conversation in a hostel has taken us further than we could've ever imagined. Since then, there have been mountains climbed, cities explored, flights between Kenya and Kerala, far too many video calls, and countless ordinary days that we still cherish.
Long distance wasn't always easy, but somewhere along the way, we learned that the best part was simply having each other to share it all with. And now, we're taking the next big step of our journey.
We're so glad you'll be there to celebrate this milestone with us.
Venue
The Villa by Contemporary Ceylon is our little slice of the coast: a relaxed hideaway with tropical gardens, warm sea air, and plenty of space to linger together between celebrations.
Prepare yourself for a weekend of good food, golden sunsets, and big smiles by the water.
