  Mr. RUIZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the union of my 
constituents and good friends, Aman Chandi and Udhay Kahlon, two 
individuals whose relationship began by chance and has grown into a 
commitment rooted in their shared traditions and love. With genuine 
happiness, I offer them my congratulations on their engagement and 
upcoming marriage.

family. Their connection grew over dinner conversations, during which 
they discovered their common values, dreams, and goals.
  Their relationship, developed through many hours of video calls and 
meaningful conversations, blossomed into love. This was formally 
recognized at a three-day Roka event, which ended with a proposal 
confirming their commitment. Aman and Udhay's experience shows that 
love can find us when we least expect it.
  As we look forward to their wedding, we are reminded of the rich 
cultural heritage that their union celebrates. From the vibrant colors 
of the Mehndi event to the Sangeet ceremony, where music and laughter 
pave the way for unforgettable memories, their celebrations vividly 
represent tradition and modernity. The Haldi, Choora, and the sacred 
Anand Karaj ceremonies hold deep significance, marking the beginning of 
their life with blessings, happiness, and the promise of a bright 
future.
  The marriage of Aman and Udhay signifies not just the union of two 
individuals, but the coming together of two families with shared values 
of hard work, community, and ambition. This union is set to expand upon 
these legacies, creating the foundation of a new chapter that promises 
to enrich their communities further and inspire future generations 
through a blend of tradition, integrity, and shared goals.
  Mr. Speaker, as Aman and Udhay stand on the brink of their future, 
they do so with the support of their families, the blessings of their 
traditions, and the love that has brought them together. In celebrating 
Aman and Udhay, we celebrate the beauty of coming together, the 
strength of familial bonds, and the promise of a future filled with 
love, happiness, and prosperity.
  On behalf of California's 25th District, I extend my warmest wishes 
to Aman, Udhay, and their families. May their union be blessed with 
love, laughter, and a lifetime of happiness. As they begin their shared 
future, let us celebrate the love that has brought them together.
  Congratulations to Aman and Udhay. May their story inspire all, and 
their lives together be filled with joy and fulfillment.
