Every mile closed was a choice we kept making.
India meets Mississippi
Sheena in India, Jeel in Mississippi — two continents and a half-day time difference apart. We made it work on 2–3 visits a year and a lot of odd-hour calls.
Same country, still different cities
Sheena moved to Ohio — suddenly one flight instead of two. Closer on paper, but still only 2–3 visits a year while Jeel was in Mississippi.
Video calls, boarding passes, borrowed weekends
Jeel moved to North Carolina — a little closer, still not close enough. We got good at making the most of every visit and surviving everything in between.
We flew home to say "I do"
After six years of long distance across the US, we came back to India, surrounded by both our families, and made it official.
Same city, same house, same everything
We stayed in India — no more time zones, no more "see you next month." Just us, finally, in the same room.
