FESTIVAL GIRLFRIEND POTENTIAL 💃🏻
Kanishk and Monique
The seeds were sown in 2016 at Splendour in the Grass, when Kanishk and Monique matched on Tinder. Despite several attempts from Kanishk to connect at the festival, Monique (who seemed keen over text) had this complex around the actual ‘meeting up’ part of online dating (kinda important) and kept flaking.
To be fair, Kanishk thought Monique’s Tinder bio was a tad basic 💅🏽 and certainly didn’t do justice to the charms and complexities he would later come to know.
Regardless, Monique seemed cute and definitely had ‘festival girlfriend’ potential, so with high hopes, Kanishk continued to message throughout the duration of Splendour.
When it came time to leave, aside from the fact they still hadn’t met, there was also the slight problem that Kanishk lived in Cairns, and Monique in Sydney. The future was not looking bright!
Undeterred, Kanishk wasted no time stalking Monique down on FB and making an appeal to her artsy side by dropping in some comment about ‘art’ and how ‘he too’ was interested (disclaimer, Kanishk was not interested). She left him on seen🫠
6 MONTHS LATER, Kanishk was road-tripping the east coast for a solo music tour (just caj), and despite Sydney not being on the itinerary he decided to head there anyway and reach out to Monique under the guise of “just passing through” 😏
Huge flex, and truth be told Monique WAS
Impressed, right up until he invited her to meet him at Sydney’s trashiest club to see some equally trashy dj…Monique politely declined.
I know what you’re thinking.. how the friggen heck did we get to the wedding part of this story? Call it fate, but right before Kanishk was due to head back north, Monique finally agreed to meet him for a late night drink overlooking Sydney harbour. It went inconveniently well.
