RUCHIKA & TUSHAR
November 6–8, 2025 · Phuket, Thailand
The Devalapalli and More families cordially invite you to celebrate Ruchika & Tushar’s wedding!
Ruchika
Ruch grew up in New Jersey, spending much of her childhood reading books and watching Disney Channel Original Movies. She lives in LA, works in film, and now spends most of her time on Tik Tok.
Tushar
Tushar grew up in Hong Kong, spending much of his childhood watching Jurassic Park (or Govinda movies, same thing). He lives in LA, works in film, and now spends most of his time on Youtube.
Our Relationship
They met in January 2020 on Hinge (obviously). Tushar truly did everything wrong leading up to their first date, and that’s a longer and better story, but Ruch, with her gracious heart, still agreed to meet up and thank God for that. They got engaged the summer of 2024 in Fiji and now they’re getting married! Many thanks to Tik Tok and Youtube for their help in planning this weddng.
