ETA - apologies for typo in title, I know it’s spelled Telugu!

Hello! I am performing a wedding ceremony this fall. One of the themes is how the couple's love for each other cannot be described with the English language. I go into the Danish word hygge, the Japanese ikigai, and the Dutch word, gezellig. The groom is from Hyderabad and many of his family members speak Telugu, so I would love to include their language in the ceremony. My question is: are there any words you can think of in Telugu that, similarly to the words above:

1. Don't have a direct English translation
2. Describe love, togetherness, comfort, safety or any related concept

Thank you in advance!
