Asritha
Ash · the bride
Replace with a short portrait of Ash — what she does, what she is like in a room, what she is impossible about, what she is quietly brilliant at.
Daughter of Raoul and Saritha Johnson.
Asritha & Elvis
How the two of us got from wherever we started to a glass chapel on a cliff in Nusa Dua, and why we would like you there when we finish the sentence.

Set STORY_PHOTO in this page’s script to replace this panel with your own picture.
Replace this paragraph with where and when you met — the year, the city, and the circumstance that put you in the same room. Two or three sentences is plenty; the details people remember are the small ones.
What we can tell you is that we do not remember it the same way. Ask us separately at the reception and you will get two confident, entirely irreconcilable accounts, and both of us will be certain the other has it wrong.
Replace this paragraph with what happened next — the cities, the jobs, the moves, the distance if there was any, the friends who took credit.
Somewhere in the middle of all of that it stopped being a question. Nothing announced itself. We simply noticed one day that every plan either of us made had quietly started including the other, and had done for a long time.
Replace this paragraph with the proposal — where it happened, who knew in advance, what went wrong, and what was said. The part that went wrong is usually the best part of the story, so keep it in.
Because our people are scattered across several continents, and no single hometown was ever going to be fair to all of them. Because if everyone we love has to get on a plane, they may as well land somewhere worth the flight.
And because of the chapel. It is a glass pavilion on the edge of a cliff at the southern tip of the island, with nothing behind the altar but the Indian Ocean, and the moment we saw it we stopped looking anywhere else.
For those meeting one of us for the first time
