“Response to this has been overwhelmingly positive. Despite the ongoing race wars, good day to remember that love is real and when you meet the right person nothing else matters," the CEO added in the X thread.
When did he meet his wife?
“Gabriella and I met 8 years ago at MIT, and have been together ever since. We recently formalized what we’ve always known - that we’re going to spend our lifetime together,” the founder wrote, adding, “When we met, I was 20 and she was 18. We were nothing but two broke students back in Cambridge. Since then, we’ve grown together, fought many fights, and yet have always loved each other to no end.”
Why the Spanish town?
Sharma shared that they married in a Hindu ceremony the night before exchanging vows at the cathedral. He added, “I of course didn’t have to convert to Catholicism or anything. It was actually my decision that we get married in Spain, because I really adore European/gothic cathedral architecture.” The couple got married in Segovia.
About Segovia:
Declared as a world heritage site, Segovia is known for its “iconic Roman Aqueduct, the majestic Fortress Alcázar and its charming Gothic cathedral,” according to the city’s official website.
