A series of wedding pictures shared on social media by a New York-based Indian-origin founder is winning hearts on the internet. The entrepreneur shared that he married the love of his life, whom he has known for the past eight years, in a beautiful Spanish town. “Married the love of my life in a 500-year-old cathedral in a 2,700-year-old town in Spain this weekend,” wrote Ayush Sharma.
“Response to this has been overwhelmingly positive. Despite the ongoing race wars, good day to remember that love is real and when you meet the right person, nothing else matters," the CEO added in the X thread.
“Gabriella and I met 8 years ago at MIT, and have been together ever since. We recently formalized what we’ve always known - that we’re going to spend our lifetime together,” the founder wrote, adding, “When we met, I was 20 and she was 18. We were nothing but two broke students back in Cambridge. Since then, we’ve grown together, fought many fights, and yet have always loved each other to no end.”
Sharma shared that they married in a Hindu ceremony the night before exchanging vows at the cathedral. He added, “I, of course, didn’t have to convert to Catholicism or anything. It was actually my decision that we get married in Spain, because I really adore European/Gothic cathedral architecture.” The couple got married in Segovia.
The post went viral, garnering 1.1 million views, and was soon picked up by Indian media outlets. “Becoming the poster child of India-US race relations was not on my bingo card when I thought to share some of my wedding photos yesterday! But glad to have helped spread some positivity ????,” shared Ayush with clips of the headlines his posts made.
