In locked down London, while Borris was having parties, Akash and Apeksha didn't realise they had just swiped right on forever. What followed was a story of adventure, joy and resilience as a boy from the big city of Ndola and a girl from the small town of Mumbai found love in sunny London. From a proposal in the expansive grasslands of South Luangwa to a wedding in the boundless shores of Goa we can't wait for you to join us on this journey.

Venue

Join us at the stunning Riva Beach Resort, located in Goa's Mandrem Beach area, offering breathtaking views and a perfect setting for our celebration. Information on booking rooms will be available once we receive your RSVP.
