Shirin Dey & Vikram Reddy

Dear Family and Friends,
We, along with our parents, joyfully invite you to celebrate our marriage.
We can’t wait to see you!

Like many modern love stories, Shirin and Vikram’s tale began with a swipe on Bumble in October 2022. Their first date was set for 8:00 PM at the Berkshire Room in Chicago, a place known for its craft cocktails and cozy atmosphere. From the moment they clinked glasses, the pair instantly bonded over their love of travel, music, books and the performing arts. Their connection was effortless. Time flew by in a whirl of laughter and deep conversation, and before they knew it, the clock struck well past midnight. As they parted ways, both Shirin and Vikram knew they had stumbled upon something truly extraordinary.

After packing a year and a half with countless adventures and memories, Vikram knew it was time to take the next step. On May 17th, 2024 in the breathtaking Chicago Botanic Gardens, he got down on one knee and asked Shirin to spend forever with him. The answer, of course, was a resounding yes!

Vikram and Shirin are delighted to have your presence at their wedding to celebrate the beginning of forever.

If flying, it is most convenient to land at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, however you can also check other major airports in the area including Dayton and Columbus. If flying into Cincinnati you will likely not need a car, but keep in mind that rideshare such as Uber or Lyft may incur longer wait times than larger cities.
