Real Wedding

Binny weds Dewang

The incessantly rainy night had a magic touch. It was the first real meeting between Binny and Dewang after virtual dating. They met at a Wine Bar in Garwood, NJ. A Rainy night and glass of wine created an instant bonding between them and they could feel that they had found their soulmates. Binny being a great fan of wine, Dewang arranged the proposal at Unionville Vineyards for a private wine tasting where Dewang put a sticker with “I love you, will you marry me” on the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, Binny’s favorite wine.

The couple wanted a destination wedding within the USA. Binny is a lover of greenery and Dewang is a beach person. Wild Dunes Resorts in Isle of Palms, South Carolina had the perfect coordination of both greenery and beach, which fascinated both the bride and groom. Hence It became the destination of their wedding ceremony on November 21, 2021.

The venue is so beautiful with an outstanding location, they did not give much emphasis on the decoration, keeping the natural beauty of the surroundings intact. They had a combined welcome party and Mehndi night at the poolside. Vidhi and Haldi were celebrated at the beach and the Sangeet was on the rooftop of one of the buildings of the resort.

The wedding ceremony was in the morning. Binny and Dewang wrote letters to each other which they opened during the first look. The outdoor wedding was on a grassy area overlooking the beach. The palm trees and the greenery all around with a cool sea breeze created a soothing atmosphere. Both Binny and Dewang were dressed in shades of purple and the theme color was also shades of purple, yellow and white.

Dewang arrived at the wedding site in a 1965 Red Ford Mustang, with all of his family and friends. The music consisted of hip hop and EDM songs with a blend of Bollywood.

The color theme for the reception was black and gold. There was a lot of enjoyment, music, dancing and a skit on the love story of Binny and Dewang. All the 220 guests including the family and friends of the bride and groom had a gala time. There were first and last dances, Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances were synchronized together. 90s hip hop, EDM and Reggaeton dominated the musical background.

The exquisitely creative bride designed all the invitations, wedding signs and above all her own, the grooms, and the bridesmaids’ outfits! Among all the festivities, both of them loved the exchange of letters the best. It was an exclusive expression of love and a sense of belonging for each other.
Upcoming Bollywood Weddings

We all love to know about celebrity weddings and can simply follow social media handles for any updates. Any little hint or a meaningful picture of a rumored couple makes us guess the marriage dates, venue, and so on. Here are a few of our favorite Bollywood couples who are looking forward to their upcoming marriages this year:

Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul

It’s another Bollywood-cricket love story. Bollywood actor Athiya Shetty and Indian cricketer KL Rahul have been in a relationship for more than three years now. Despite not making any official statement on their romantic association, the actor has been seen accompanying the cricketer on his tours. Not only that, but the pair also often shares each other’s photos on social media. Athiya even accompanied Rahul to Germany where he was getting treatment for his injury. It has been rumored that they are getting married within the next three months.

Sushmita Sen and Lalit Modi

The former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen is always in the news for her unconventional lifestyle and her opinions on motherhood and relationships. Now the most-discussed matter regarding Sushmita is her relationship with the former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi. Sharing pictures of their vacation in Maldives and Sardinia on his social media handles, Modi mentioned their relationship, calling Sushmita his “better half” and hinted at their marriage. Although Sushmita has yet to confirm it, the rumors of their marriage are active.

Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani

The handsome hunk and the pretty actress of Bollywood Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani are reported to be in a relationship. Although there has been no official statement from either of them, their PDA and romantic vacations together only confirm their relationship. The couple has introduced each other to their families and is reported to be tying the knot this year.

Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor

Bollywood diva Malaika Arora and actor Arjun Kapoor have been in a steady relationship for more than three years now. They go on vacations together, attend parties as a couple, and post pictures together on social media. It has been reported that they are getting married this year.
Jessica and Shyam

Shyam fell in love with Jessica the moment he laid eyes on her… picture. It was a chilling January night when he met her at a mutual friend’s party. Within a few days, they met again and began their love story. The utterly romantic Shyam proposed to Jessica at Bunkers of Carmel in Barcelona. It was November 23, 2019, when the couple traveled to what is considered by many the most scenic viewpoint in the entire city even before the crack of dawn, allowing Shyam the opportunity to propose to his lady love with the rising sun as a witness.

The couple decided to tie the knot two years later — almost to the day — in 2021. November 27 would be the special day. They chose The Bibb Mill Event Center in Columbus, GA, since Jessica and her family were from Columbus and Shyam and his family were from Madison, GA.

Among the pre-wedding festivities, both the bride and the groom celebrated Ganesh Puja, Graha Shanti, and Haldi at their residences with simple and traditional decorations created by their mothers.

The wedding took place in the morning, inside a banquet hall. Fortunately, the big windows of the banquet room allowed sunlight to enter and create a positive and festive vibe. Apart from the Bollywood (old school and new), bhangra, American/Indian like Jalebi Baby, and American hip-hop set the musical mood. A solo performance by professional Bollywood/classical dancer, Maria, before either the groom or bride entered kept all the 250 guests mesmerized. Wedding decorations were simple and elegant with pastel shades and fresh flowers. Shyam arrived in a G-wagon, with the baraatis dancing on the way to the ceremony.

The reception was a gala event with lots of music and dancing by the bride and groom and all of their family and friends. The decoration was simple with pastel shades featuring three-tier floating candles at each table for the centerpiece. There was a cake-cutting ceremony with music while a live dhol player and DJ created the joyful ambience with almost all of the 300 guests joining the celebrations.

It was a happy and fun-filled event that created countless memories for the couple.

Divya and Kush

Both of them are physicians and have known each other formally. However, it was the rhythm of the dance that made them fall for each other. Divya Aickara and Kush Shah fell in love as competitors in a dance competition in Fort Lauderdale in October of 2013. Divya won both the competition and Kush’s heart as they began dating. After a six-year relationship, Kush proposed to Divya on New Year’s Eve, 2018, in Miami.

Divya said “Yes” and the couple started planning for their marriage. However, the Covid-19 pandemic upset the celebration plans initially. After the restrictions were over, they decided to have the formal wedding ceremony on January 22, 2022, at Omni Orlando Resort.

Both Divya and Kush are great supporters of wedding planners to ensure a stress-free and organized function. Among the pre-wedding ceremonies, they had the Mehndi, Pithi, and Sangeet/Garba. The Mehndi was an intimate affair with close family and friends in attendance. The backdrop was beautifully decorated with bells, roses, and multi-colored umbrellas. There were two canopies where the artists applied Mehndi to the guests.

The Pithi was also an intimate event where the couple appeared in matching yellow outfits, Converse All-stars, and Aviator sunglasses. The Sangeet was full of energy, color, and fantastic décor with a canopy of multi-colored kites and flags as well as market lights. Excellent dance performances from both families and fantastic food made the event a major hit.

The wedding ceremony was supposed to take place outdoors, but cold weather and rain shifted the celebration to inside the ballroom. It featured a dark wood Mandap with a floral frame highlighted by portraits of both Divya and Kush’s grandparents opposite the Mandap as a mark of respect. Kush arrived at the venue dancing with his family and friends on a Jeep while the groomsmen carried an elephant on a stick. Live Dholi and Bollywood songs dominated the music.

Just after the ceremonies were complete, the couple went out on the Baraat Jeep for an intimate photo session. It was the most precious memory for both of them during the entire ceremony and celebrations.

The reception theme was elegant and classic with shades of champagne, gold, and white featuring pink and white flowers. Candlelight was used extensively through the background and along the stage edges. Light pink and golden yellow up-lights were lit throughout the room. The couple along with the bridesmaids and the groomsmen gave stellar dance performances with Bollywood, Hip Hop, Pop, Reggaeton, and other music. All 260 guests had a wonderful time.

This was how the newlyweds celebrated their memorable day — with excitement dominating.

Marvi and Ibrahim

They came from different backgrounds and cultures. Yet, their mutual love and eternal bond made each the perfect companion for one another. Marvi Qureshi and Ibrahim Gul were introduced to each other in their medical school in Orlando and felt chemistry right away. Both families were delighted with their bond and wanted them to tie the knot.

Ibrahim proposed to Marvi following the traditional Islamic culture known as Mangni. The wedding took place in a Mosque according to the religious customs in the pre-Covid time of December 2019. After this, they exchanged rings at Waldorf Astoria. The Covid pandemic and the related restrictions delayed the celebrations. Hence, the wedding and reception took place more than a year later, on June 19, 2021.

The duo enjoyed elaborate pre-wedding ceremonies organized by their close friends. Marvi had the privilege of celebrating at four different bridal showers hosted by her four bridesmaids. They also had four Dholkis celebrated at their friends’ places. There was the Mayoun event, too, where they had a flower separation sitting on the same couch while Marvi was putting on the bridal Mehndi.

The wedding ceremony at the Hyatt Regency-Orlando proved to be a grand event attended by 500 guests. Ibrahim arrived on a BMW i8 along with his family. Marvi appeared on a moon for her entrance driven by her brothers Mansoor and Kamran with songs and smoke permeating the room. “Floating” through the aisle and dance floor on the moon, Marvi dismounted and walked down to her groom. They cut a beautifully decorated five-tier cake and enjoyed songs and dance performances by family and friends of both. The couple left the venue with sparklers in hand as they entered the baraat car.

The reception, or Valima, venue was at Waldorf Astoria-Orlando. It took place during the day with beautiful décor that featured floating lanterns in the Waldorf Astoria’s gardens near the fountains in the back. The couple performed two dances highlighted by a special moment in which Ibrahim lifted Marvi, who looked gorgeous in her Mehndi-colored outfit and heavy bridal jewelry. It was Father’s Day and so the darling daughter enjoyed a father-daughter dance to the song “Dilbaro.” The Kashmiri tea stall at the wedding and reception was a grand success. It was indeed the melting pot of two different cultures united by love.
