and we'd very much like you there for all of it

Three years, two countries, and finally zero time zones between us. Two days of extremely loud happiness. You are invited to every last bit of it.

a short,
unserious
history

what to wear

something bright.
we're not doing subtle.

(and something you can eat a lot in.)

kids?
yes, obviously. bring all of them.
gifts?
your presence. and maybe a good filter coffee recommendation.
what's the weather?
pleasantly cool. mornings want a light jacket, afternoons don't.
what's the food?
puran poli and modak from her side, payasam from his. pace yourself.
can I stay over?
rooms are blocked nearby — tell us when you rsvp.

the only part that needs you
