a promise made in the rain
Until the first shower
Saturday
22 · 08 · 2026
Monsoon, and we would not have it any other way.
Our story
How we got here
The bus shelter
A downpour, one umbrella between four strangers, and a share-auto neither of us needed.
The gulmohar
Every June it flowered outside her window, and every June there was a reason to visit.
“We stopped waiting for the rain to pass and started walking in it.”
The swing
Her grandmother hung it the summer she was born. We asked her to hang it once more.
The plan
The celebrations
7:00 PM · The evening before
Mehndi under the awning
Henna, hot chai, and the rain keeping time on the tin roof.
5:00 PM · The big day
The vows
Beneath the flame tree, rain or shine — and we are hoping for rain.
8:00 PM · The big day
Dinner by the fields
Lamps in the paddy, and dancing once the plates are cleared.
The venue
Where to find us
