Claire & Ishan

It started with a project

Two colleagues, one international client and a thousand video calls. Somewhere between deadlines and time zones, Ishan and Claire started looking forward to their meetings a little too much.

Nearly 5,000 kilometres apart

He was in New Delhi, India. She was in the Philippines, two and a half hours ahead. Between them: mountains, the Bay of Bengal and the South China Sea.

Love across the miles

Good-morning texts that arrived at lunchtime, goodnight calls that ran past midnight, frozen screens and endless "can you hear me now?". Every call made the distance feel a little smaller.

Crossing the miles

Then the calls were not enough. Ishan packed a bag, boarded a plane and flew across the sea to see her smile in person for the very first time.

Finally, together in Delhi

Then Claire flew to India. Street food at little stalls, spiced tea in clay cups, long walks and a family that welcomed her like their own. Delhi felt like home with her in it.

No more goodbyes

After all the flights and airport farewells, Ishan asked and Claire said yes. On 20 November, the miles finally end. Come celebrate with us.

And it simply would not feel complete without you there, .
