A Wedding in Punjab for a Couple Who Fell in Love Before They Ever Met

Khushman and Angad followed each other on Instagram long before they ever spoke. For a while, it was just likes, story views and the occasional appearance on each other’s feed.

Then Angad posted his iced coffee.

“Angad posted a story about his strange way of making iced coffee at home,” Khushman shares. “I couldn’t resist and sent him a sarcastic remark.”

That message turned into a conversation that lasted until 6 a.m. Then three months of talking nonstop, all before they had even met in person.

“By the time we finally saw each other, we had already fallen in love,” they say. “It wasn’t supposed to happen that way, falling in love before we even met, but it did, and it felt so natural.”

Khushman was in Toronto and Angad was in Vancouver, but the distance never seemed to matter much. When they finally met, Khushman says, “It felt like coming home.”

For her, one of Angad’s best qualities is the calm he brings into her life. “He has a calming presence that eases my worries. It’s very rare for me to find someone who understands me so intuitively.”

For Angad, it’s even simpler. “She’s my home, my partner, my everything.”

By February 2023, they were rokhed. “It all came together in a way only God could orchestrate. We both know this love, this timing, this journey it was never random. As Angad likes to say, it’s always God’s plan.”

Their wedding came together over the next seven months, with several trips from Canada to India.

“Surprisingly, the process wasn’t stressful at all. I knew exactly what I wanted (classic Virgo energy), and even Angad had a smooth shopping experience, though I like to think that’s also because of my Virgo energy,” Khushman says.

Her Looks

Parinaz Kharoud styled her bridal shower and cocktail looks, while Ameeran Designs became an unexpected favourite.

“Their creativity and attention to detail felt different from anything else I’d seen. I ended up wearing their pieces for three events and each one felt so me.”

Her reception saree by Ammara Khan ended up being another favourite.

“One of them being my reception saree by Ammara Khan, which turned out to be my absolute favorite.”

One of Khushman’s most emotional memories came during the engagement ceremony, when her dad walked her toward Angad.

“As he led me toward Angad, teary-eyed, and gently placed my hand in his, it felt like the most beautiful passing of trust. A memory I’ll carry in my heart forever.”

And then there were her girls, who were there through the fittings, the chaos and the dance floor.

“There’s something sacred about female friendships,” she says. “The kind that hold you steady in life’s biggest moments. Having them by my side reminded me just how important those bonds really are.”

For two people who started with a quiet Instagram follow, their story moved quickly once they finally spoke.

“Before anything else, we’re best friends. Husband and wife came after.”

And all because Khushman had something to say about his iced coffee.
