OUR STORY
Our story began in the halls of the College of Engineering, where two students crossed paths without knowing how much of life we would one day share. What started with conversations between classes slowly became a friendship, and before long, something much deeper.
Together, we navigated years that few could have imagined. Through a pandemic, across borders, and through seasons of waiting, we continued to choose each other. No matter the distance, we found ways to stay close, discovering that home was never a place—it was each other.
Today, we are grateful to be building a life together in Australia. Surrounded by the people who have supported us from the very beginning, we warmly invite you to celebrate this next chapter as we promise each other a lifetime of love.
– Raj and Alti
Our story has led us here — to a day of love, joy, and new beginnings.

Plan Your Stay
If you’re looking for nearby accommodations, Alamanda Resort by Lancemore (where the wedding and reception are situated) has a discounted offer for you.
Just use the code LOVESPB when booking via the website or over the phone.
If you’re keen to swim, we recommend you find a place to stay with a pool just in case, since it is stinger season during this time.
UNPLUGGED
WEDDING
We kindly request that all guests turn off their cell phones, cameras, and other electronic devices during the ceremony. We want to be fully present and enjoy this special moment together. A photographer will be capturing all the memories, so feel free to relax and enjoy the celebration without distractions.

Your presence at our wedding is present enough but if we are honored with a gift from you, a monetary gift will be very much appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have transportation from the airport to our lodging?
If there is a significant number of guests arriving around the same time, transportation may be arranged. Let us know your expected arrival date and time, and we’ll do our best to help where possible.
Will we need transportation from the wedding venue to the reception venue?
No. The chapel is right beside the restaurant, connected by a lovely beachfront walk.
When should we arrive by?
We’ve arranged some optional activities the day before the wedding, and we’d love for you to spend this time with us. Otherwise, the ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM on the wedding day. We suggest arriving a little earlier to settle in and mingle before the celebration begins.
Can I bring plus-one?
The number of seats reserved for you will be shown when you RSVP through our website. For family, this reflects the total number of guests included in the invitation. Otherwise, each invited guest will be named individually.
Can I bring my kid/s with me?
While we love your little ones, this will be an adults-only celebration. Thank you for understanding.
Can we sit anywhere at the reception?
We’ve thoughtfully arranged seating for everyone’s comfort and convenience. Seating information will be available on this website by March and at the venue on the wedding day.
Can we swim at the beach?
Yes! Just be mindful that jellyfish and estuary crocodiles can be present in the area. For your safety, please swim only where lifeguards are on duty, between the flags, and within the designated swimming nets.
It means the world to us that you’re part of this special chapter in our lives. As we get ready to say “I do” in beautiful Palm Cove, we’re so grateful for the love and support we’ve received from our favorite people. Whether you’re celebrating with us in person or from afar, thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to begin our forever with you in our hearts.
with love,
