In an interview, Amit explained, “We wanted a proper Indian wedding. At a time when Aditya’s parents, who are based in India, were visiting us in America for the first time felt like the ideal date. It was all completely organic, we didn’t force anything. We are truly lucky to have parents who are so supportive.”

Afterwards, they took to Instagram to express their gratitude, writing: “We didn’t realize the impact a simple wedding at a temple would have on people around the world looking for hope. There is no secret to acceptance, tolerance, or happiness. You just have to find the right partner to take the step with. Let the truth of your love speak for itself. Love, Amit & Adi.”

View this post on InstagramThank you everyone who took time out to congratulate us. We are unable to respond to each and every message but are very grateful for the support system we have witnessed ?? As we fall back into our routine life it is important to remember that the right to equality and freedom of expression is a given. No one should be mistreated because they have taken a different route than yours ?? Humanity and love over hatred??????????
