Love, laughter and happily ever after!

Named by French explorers as "the Red Stick City," Baton Rouge is where Louisiana's capital, flagship university, and distinctive Cajun and Creole cultures all come together. This is also the city where Nikki and Benoy’s story came together at the sunset-lit rooftop of Tsunami. At the heart of Tiger Nation (Geaux Tigers!) Nikki and Benoy bonded over their passion of the law, but couldn’t have been more of the same and more different. One grew up in the suburbs of central jersey and south Florida, and the other the big city of Manhattan, New York. Both, with eyes set on returning and embarking to the sunshine state (Go Noles!). One was a first generation American, born with proud South Indian heritage. The other with rich African American culture, from the deep South and Midwest. They both bonded, holding strong family values and respect for service to their country. One wanted to practice law to be a rainmaker for the highest bidder. The other wanted to practice in public service. One was sharp and assertive. The other stoic and decisive. One liked cats, the other liked dogs. (In law school they adopted their first fur baby, Wiley). One liked spicy food, the other…not so much. Through clash in opinion, they grew closer in understanding themselves and the world. Nikki and Benoy stood the test of time, rekindling their love in Tampa, Florida as practicing attorneys at the same firm. Through medical catastrophe, their relationship endured as Benoy recovered from being on death’s doorstep. It was here when they adopted a second, thicker, fur baby Balto. Benoy then answered the call to service, that took him across the country to the Mojave Desert. Their love would be tested again. They found solace in a recurring solution, adopting their third fur baby, Broccoli. Love is enduring and overcomes all. Ever fitting, Benoy proposed to Nikki on the lovely island of Oahu, Hawaii in the historic town of Haleiwa. It was decided here that their love would be intertwined forever, on Island Time. While distance may exist in any situation, love can never be closer. Please join us as we Sanil the deal, and begin this journey of matrimony from now until time.
