When a British diplomat arrived in India four years ago, she had no idea she would fall in love with an Indian.

Rhiannon Harries, the Deputy Trade Commissioner for South Asia, shared a photo of herself dressed as a desi bride in a red wedding lehenga with her groom, Himanshu Pandey, an independent filmmaker and the creator of Godrockfilms, on Twitter.

“When I arrived in #India nearly 4 years ago, I had many hopes & dreams for my time here. But never did I imagine I would be meeting & marrying the love of my life. I found such happiness in #IncredibleIndia & so glad it will always be a home,” Rhiannon wrote.
