A Hornblower Cruise Wedding at Sea

Sejal and Ashutosh met during a huge blizzard on the east coast. Sejal was a third year in medical school and her best friend was having a birthday party she couldn’t make it too because of the blizzard. The party was cancelled, bringing out the irony. Ashutosh had been invited to this same birthday party. Originally, Ashu was not going to make it to the party because he was working, but because the date was changed his RSVP changed from no to yes. This unfortunate “snow-mageddon” ended up being not so unfortunate after all…

Sejal thought Ashutosh was a bit strange at first. For example, his order at Denny’s was 3 orders of hash browns and nothing else. He wore goofy socks with sandals and never cut his hair. Facebook messages turned into texting which turned into FaceTime. Ashutosh visited Sejal in Virginia and walked through a raging blizzard to get supplies to bake her cupcakes. The visits back and forth continued.

The two went on many of adventures from coast to coast — Virgina Beach, VA to Mammoth Mountain, CA. Sejal eventually got acceped into the pediatrics residency program at Children’s Hospital of Orange County/University of California Irvine, which was conveniently within 10 miles of where Ashutosh was living at the time. They finally we shared a time zone. Ashutosh finally proposed to Sejal in her birth city of Chicago and the rest is history!

Here are the gorgeous photos from the couple’s bright and sunny San Diego wedding on The Inspiration Hornblower. Thanks to Braja Mandala Photography we can continue to relive the gorgeous day!
