Sidharth and Manisha first met in Chicago and enjoyed dinner at a restaurant where they thought they might only stay for an hour. Little did they know, they ended up losing track of time and talking the whole night–and the rest is history! This marked the start of their relationship, which has been centered around a lighthearted playfulness and deep thoughtfulness and affection for one another.
When Sidharth and Manisha are together, they love to travel and push each other out of their comfort zones. Some of their favorite memories include a trip to Maui, a hiking excursion in Utah, and the moment their families met in India. They also share a mutual love for Bollywood music!
After Manisha planned a June trip to Napa with her family, Sidharth wanted to find a thoughtful way to surprise her with a proposal at a local winery. Manisha has always wanted a small wedding with a close group of friends and family, so he worked with The Heart Bandits – Wedding Proposal Planners to plan a Napa proposal idea that was intimate and private, while still allowing them to celebrate with their loved ones afterwards.
The couple and their family arrived at a breathtaking winery with lush greenery and vines and gorgeous views. Manisha thought they were there for a private tour, but as she made her way around the property with her family, Sidharth was waiting to surprise her with a beautiful Napa winery proposal.
Manisha was guided to one of the first clues that a proposal was about to happen. A playful sign with one of their favorite nicknames for each other was in front of her: “Hi Babs, quick question for you.”
As she followed the path, she made her way to a tree-lined area with vases full of bright fuchsia flowers and photos of the two of them. Sidharth was waiting with a smile on his face and Manisha was overcome with surprise, love beaming in her eyes.
After popping the question, Sidharth and Manisha celebrated their engagement with their family and clinked their glasses to the soon-to-be husband and wife!
