‘Right place, right time’ can sum up Karishma Damani and Jay Thakrar’s love story. “We are from different countries. I’m from India and Jay was born and raised in the United States,” the bride reveals. The couple’s paths first crossed at a common friend’s wedding in Mumbai. “I was the maid of honour and Jay was the best man. At the time, both of us were not looking for a relationship, and only saw each other as friends.” Sparks flew when Damani moved to New York City to pursue her masters degree. “We truly enjoyed each other’s company, and our love for food really brought us together. After dating for a few years, we decided to embark upon the next chapter together, and got engaged in December 2018.”
