Apeksha and Tony
501 Union
Brooklyn, New York
Apeksha and Tony's love story began during the pandemic, with a chance meeting on Hinge while he was in North Carolina and she was in Brooklyn. Their relationship blossomed through FaceTime and Zoom dates, filled with deep conversations and virtual connection. Finally, meeting in person in June 2020, they've been inseparable ever since. Tony proposed during an early Valentine’s trip to Montreal, where he presented her the sweetest handmade book that he made, that showcased their story, month by month.
Their wedding began with a first look at The Beekman Hotel, which was one of Apeksha’s favorite memories. “I just couldn’t wait to see Tony that morning for our first look because I knew that, at that moment, everything was going to be okay. He really is my rock and the best husband I could ever ask for!”
Tony's unwavering support and love have been a constant source of strength for Apeksha, evident even in the moments before the ceremony at 501 Union when he knelt down to help clean her wedding dress sleeves. Planning their wedding together strengthened their bond and taught them valuable lessons in teamwork
Their wedding day was filled with moments of joy and gratitude, surrounded by an incredible vendor team who helped bring their vision to life. Apeksha, a singer, surprised Tony with a recorded song for their wedding video, adding a special touch to their celebration.
