We met on the Finch trail back in 2021. Really, it was Momo and Misty who introduced us. The dogs decided they were friends before we did, so we ended up friends too, walking the same loop most evenings.

Five years, two dogs, and a lot of walks later, we're getting married.

The City

Fly into CCU — Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International. About 45 minutes from the venue. December is the city's best month — 25°C days, mid-teens at night.

While you're here

  • New Market Victorian covered arcade, 1874. Spices, fabric, tailors, cheese — everything under one roof.
  • Gariahat Market Open-air bazaar for handloom sarees, kantha quilts, and cotton fabric. The prices on the label are a starting point.
  • Dakshinapan A circle of state emporiums, one for every corner of India. Handicrafts, textiles, and things you won't find anywhere else.
  • Park Street The strip that doesn't quite sleep. Old bakeries, good restaurants, colonial facades.
  • Prinsep Ghat The Hooghly at dusk — ferries crossing, bridges lit up, people just sitting. One of the quieter beautiful things about this city.
  • Victoria Memorial White marble, 1921. The gardens at dusk are better than the museum.
