Snippets from our journey to the aisle
Virtual Wooing (April 2024)
Asel slid into Nileshi's Instagram DMs with a bold pitch: claims of elite household chore skills. (Spoiler: It was a total lie. He cannot, in fact, sweep well or trim grass).

Déjà Vu! 🤯
Early on, we discovered that both of our sets of parents have the exact same careers. Fated? Absolutely. Slightly creepy? Also yes.
The Zoo Date to Beat All Dates 🦒
Nileshi insisted on the zoo for date #1. Asel was so nervous he basically ignored her to read enclosure signs out loud.
He redeemed himself that night with a book-related surprise at a fancy restaurant—leaving Nileshi feeling very overwhelmed and low-key self-conscious that she smelled like a zebra.

Unofficial Barista Ambassadors ☕
Since we got together during Nileshi's final year of uni, a bulk of our dates were spent at Barista. Asel dotingly sat by her side while she drowned in design projects.
Today, we pride ourselves on having visited an absurdly high number of Barista outlets across Sri Lanka!

Mawiage! 💍
While our Poruwa ceremony and big celebration are set for August 28th, 2026, we officially registered our marriage on July 2nd, 2026—signing our certificate right on the balcony of Nileshi's childhood home.
