Our story
How we got here
॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥ — with the blessings of Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles, honoured first at every new beginning.
With the blessings of Meera & Rajesh Iyer and Lakshmi & Suresh Menon, we joyfully invite you to celebrate with our families.
Ananya grew up in Edison; Vikram flew in from Seattle for a cousin's wedding in 2023 and never really left. Three years, two coasts, and one very patient long-distance relationship later — we're doing it the way our parents dreamed: three days, five ceremonies, and everyone we love under one roof.

We've blocked rooms at the Courtyard Edison under 'Iyer–Menon Wedding' until November 20th. Shuttles run between the hotel, the family home, and the banquet hall for every event.

Festive Indian formal, all three days. Bright colors encouraged — red is reserved for the bride. Haldi: wear white or yellow, it will get turmeric on it.
