The Actual Proposal Invite: Dhruv used this template in reaching out to friends and family to inform them about the surprise proposal event in San Francisco.

A picture is worth a thousand words... How about a recording? Dhruv quickly realized that all the reactions he'd received were so pure & genuine that he thought, "Wait, why don't I capture them to share with Shivani later." Wherever people could in their busy lives, Dhruv individually called & Facetimed each invitee so he could share mostly everyone's genuine reactions with Shivani after the big day. Here is an example of one of the many.

After weeks of attempting to get Shivani's Nails done for the proposal, Dhruv came up with the best excuse he could. He urgently went to Shivani an hour before leaving for the movies and started scratching his foot saying, "Shivani, I think something is wrong. My foot is really bothering me." In actuality, it was not. Shivani responded by saying, "Dhruv... I think you need a pedicure." "Alright, if you say so," replied Dhruv. Here is the picture of Dhruv, smiling because as soon as he sat in the chair, Shivani got urged into getting her nails done & bam! Done before the proposal.

The Surprise Engagement Party - With the help of Karishma, Keyuri, Hetal & more friends along the way, We were able to get 80 of our closest friends to surprise Shivani in San Francisco, CA. Many people flew in from different states, such as New York, Illinois, and Texas, as well as others who drove in from Southern California, all to celebrate and ring in the Engagement together. We could not have asked for a more memorable evening and truly believe this photo captured it best.

Where would we be without family? Ring Fresh on Shivani's finger, Dhruv had called up both families to attend a surprise lunch to commemorate the proposal. With Dhruv's family driving in from Southern California & Shivani's family arriving from all across, we were able to share laughs and celebrate. This amazing day was full of lifelong memories that we will cherish forever.
