Nishaki Mehta, MD was looking forward to a Harvard Diwali (Indian New Year) party, on a day off from her fellowship. This is where she met Matt, who had stopped by and was experiencing his first Diwali celebration. That marked the beginning of a friendship which blossomed into a relationship over a Memorial Day weekend trip to Acadia.
When Matt moved to Charlottesville, they decided to take their relationship to the next level. In Virginia, “the Land of Lovers,” they discovered mutual interests and their compatibility while exploring the Shenandoah with friends and family. Their common appreciation of nature and travel has inspired additional adventures.
Matt met Mehta’s parents on a trip to Iceland and he hit it off with his soon to-be pa-in-law wading in the Blue Lagoon. A joint family trip to Spain and Portugal followed where the Mehtas and Roses discovered new lands together. Sri Lanka gave Matt a taste of India and Machu Picchu took their bond to dizzying heights. Maldives marked the beautiful wedding shoot and celebrating family birthdays.
After a few Chrismukkahs with the Roses, they celebrated their union over the New Years to commemorate their first meeting at the Indian New Years in Dubai.
Congratulations Nishaki and Matt!
Congratulations to Andrew Lee (pictured at left), son of Karra Lee, NP and Dr Daniel Lee III, “Trey” who is 7 years old, who made a donation to the Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center for the patient fund.
