They worked at different offices that were across the street from each other and likely both “swiped right” during the work day. While they immediately clicked due to shared interests of food, music, travel, and a willingness to explore, things didn’t work out; Rebecca returned to Boston to finish her undergrad, and Jithu began a streak of work travel. Rebecca returned to central NJ for full-time work after graduating, and she stayed in touch with Jithu as he traveled.&nbsp; When he returned to NJ from Tokyo in the middle of 2018, the two reconnected and got dinner. Oblivious, Jithu thought this wasn’t a date but instead a friendly dinner, until Rebecca made her intentions clear.&nbsp; When Rebecca changed offices in early 2019, she suggested moving to Philadelphia together. Jithu was skeptical of Philly, thinking that it was a place for cheesesteaks and rowdy sports fans. For Jithu’s birthday, Rebecca bought tickets to see James Blake live in Philly*. After spending a fun weekend in Fishtown, Jithu realized that the city had a lot to offer and agreed to move. The rest is history!*James Blake happened to be Jithu’s soundtrack in Tokyo; this birthday weekend also required Jithu to fly back from a business trip in Spain for 48 hours in the US. <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dcab908c8e27f09798439b3383864d1344dde9d804fcd2b6ca63bf36a4a4c4fc/DSCF2538.jpeg" data-mid="186384569" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dcab908c8e27f09798439b3383864d1344dde9d804fcd2b6ca63bf36a4a4c4fc/DSCF2538.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31fb356f11928330a17b96ed3d3a747964bd3979041ddcb70d74bd6a0f4223e1/IMG_9010.jpeg" data-mid="186384563" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31fb356f11928330a17b96ed3d3a747964bd3979041ddcb70d74bd6a0f4223e1/IMG_9010.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31db257567c29fd5ba412bd7d7fda9164354ee994d774f9ab05260dcf98722f3/IMG_1374.jpeg" data-mid="186384568" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31db257567c29fd5ba412bd7d7fda9164354ee994d774f9ab05260dcf98722f3/IMG_1374.jpeg" /> <img width="533" height="800" width_o="533" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/49c1dfee4cc679d9feb5d263e72d479e71d3be4fe1bb3b6015e301c1b4325abe/IMG_2546.jpeg" data-mid="186384567" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/533/i/49c1dfee4cc679d9feb5d263e72d479e71d3be4fe1bb3b6015e301c1b4325abe/IMG_2546.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/26035158ffac7c84e20bb0ed6ce004339156f768d5c2bd9270f46f2087e8d90c/IMG_3968.jpeg" data-mid="186384566" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/26035158ffac7c84e20bb0ed6ce004339156f768d5c2bd9270f46f2087e8d90c/IMG_3968.jpeg" /> <img width="2316" height="3088" width_o="2316" height_o="3088" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6e97431808a217f7220ade5d647d5a045ebada11cb03c8c26194b213c4fc647d/IMG_6369.jpeg" data-mid="186384565" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6e97431808a217f7220ade5d647d5a045ebada11cb03c8c26194b213c4fc647d/IMG_6369.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbb5994ed4558ab7f1da767e339606d0f1d8ea4bd20caa311011080ae66172b6/IMG_7578.jpeg" data-mid="186384564" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbb5994ed4558ab7f1da767e339606d0f1d8ea4bd20caa311011080ae66172b6/IMG_7578.jpeg" /> <img width="853" height="1280" width_o="853" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6eb81d6bc5f45113b0794a3f88e75ee344d60183f08bbb2a2bab96cb5b456ed/DSC01399.jpeg" data-mid="186384561" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/853/i/e6eb81d6bc5f45113b0794a3f88e75ee344d60183f08bbb2a2bab96cb5b456ed/DSC01399.jpeg" /> <img width="3088" height="2316" width_o="3088" height_o="2316" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b5b6e899edaa34233f92b5dd2fc08f2b4be8212fbdd3502302468696ae8935b/hawaii.jpg" data-mid="186384562" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b5b6e899edaa34233f92b5dd2fc08f2b4be8212fbdd3502302468696ae8935b/hawaii.jpg" /> https://wedding.rebeccaandjithu.com/engagement Wed, 05 Jul 2023 21:53:47 +0000 Rebecca&Jithu https://wedding.rebeccaandjithu.com/engagement An engaging trip to Paris... Last year, Rebecca and Jithu took a tour at the Louvre. Like something out of the Da Vinci Code or Mission Impossible, they ran through security, into the museum, up an elevator, and across the halls of the museum. They were the first to see the Mona Lisa that morning. Afterward, they took a stroll to Pont Neuf. From the bridge, they saw a park – the Square du Vert-Galant. They walked down and to the end, and Jithu offered to take photos of Rebecca in her (cute and cool) museum-going outfit. At that point, Jithu got on one knee and proposed to Rebecca – under the willow tree. She said yes, and they spent the rest of the trip eating, drinking, seeing the sights, and enjoying each other's company. <img width="400" height="533" width_o="400" height_o="533"

You’re having a 20 person microwedding in the afternoon – why black tie optional? Because why not! For women: Midi-to-floor length dresses and gowns. In terms of colors, think “autumn.” For men: If you own a black tie ensemble (i.e., a tuxedo) or want an excuse to get one, wear it!&nbsp;If you don’t, wear a dark suit. If you want to read more, check out the&nbsp;Black Tie Guide’s primer. PhonesWe’d like everyone to be present and request that you please keep your phones on silent mode safely stowed away, particularly during the ceremony and during photos with the photographer (📵). Otherwise, you’re more than welcome to take photos/video at Vaux, at dinner, and any time in between! Registry/giftsWe don’t have a registry, and gifts are absolutely not expected. We recognize that everyone will be traveling in to spend this day with us; your time and presence are the best gifts you could give us! Where are you going for your honeymoon? By the time of the wedding, we will have (hopefully) already gone on our honeymoon 🙂🇯🇵 . A “pre-moon”, if you will. There’s a ceremony and dinner, but what about dancing? Dancing is strictly forbidden.
