Juhi + Saawan, a Coronado Island Marriott Wedding

Saawan and Juhi were both born and raised in the Bay Area. They’re both tech start-up junkies who met through a mutual friend. In 2020 when Saawan graduated from college in Minnesota, he moved back to the Bay and was invited to a big Lake Tahoe Ski Trip by his friend. The trip consisted of 30-40 friends. And that’s where he met Juhi for the first time. They both hit it off so well from the beginning, that they actually broke off from the rest of the group during the weekend and went to the lakeside. Minutes turned into hours by the lake and time passed without even realizing it. Casually and friendly the entire night, the two became friends instantly from one Lake Tahoe trip. Soon after, Saawan and Juhi started dating and it’s been nothing but great memories and laughs ever since.

Saawan and Juhi dated throughout the pandemic. This meant the entire world was shut down and they both worked from home…together. They spent every day and every night together for years. Fast forward to November 2022, Saawan took Juhi to Napa for a client business trip. Saawan had his own company, so Juhi didn’t think much of it since they do events like this quite often. The day began with a Black Lux SUV picking them up from their home door and driving them to wine country. Juhi didn’t think much of it because it was a normal course of business during client visits. Their first stop was for lunch at a winery. Then they drove to Jarvis. Jarvis unlike most of the typical wineries in wine country is located on a hilly path. Jarvis Winery is built within the hills and caves of Napa. An untouched gem to most wine tasters, Jarvis housed a beautiful rock formation crystal cave where Saawan proposed to Juhi.

Jarvis being an elite and upscale winery is not open to the public and requires private access for tasting. Jarvis has never hosted a proposal, so Saawan & Juhi‘s love story marked the first-ever (and last) proposal at the winery. They like to remain private and exclusive to the public. Deep within the crystal caves of Napa, Juhi accepted Saawan‘s proposal to marry, and the rest is history. Being a romantic, Saawan had plans for the two to fly to Paris to celebrate their engagement shortly after their proposal!

Fun Fact: Having never talked about getting married so quickly, Juhi and Saawan never spoke about their dream ring or ring size! Saawan chose a ring 2 sizes too small and the ring didn’t fit during the proposal! Juhi later got to design her dream ring and now has the opportunity to wear 2 different rings, both with incredible meaning to the couple.
