Our Story

seven years in the making

Nilai and Christie first met at an interview; Christie, the recruiting lead of the MIT Consulting Group, and Nilai, a brand new freshman at MIT. Neither were remarkably impressed with each other that day.

It wouldn't be until a year later where their paths would cross again -- spending late nights at PKT and Stud5, walking along the Esplanade, and squeezing dates between classes, when they knew there was something there, and the rest is history.

Please join us in Marrakech

a wedding weekend party

We are so very excited to invite you to our wedding!

The ceremony will be hosted in sunny Marrakech, Morocco, nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Why Marrakech? We've wanted to go there for years, and this is as good an excuse as any to force our family and friends to join us...

We have booked two massive villas in the Palmeraie district for a fun-filled weekend. We will have board games, lots of delicious food, a huge (heated) pool, dancing, music, cocktails, (and maybe even camels... 🐪🐪🐪)
