Raghu Ram and Natalie Di Luccio, H2O Agonda, Goa
The endless expanse of the Arabian sea formed the backdrop for popular MTV host Raghu Ram's traditional wedding to Natalie in Goa.
He is known for terrifying contestants in the long-running MTV show ‘Roadies’ – but it was a different Raghu Ram on show at his wedding in Goa. Dressed in a stylish ethnic ensemble, Raghu wed Natalie in a traditional ceremony and the couple soaked in the Goan vibe as they celebrated with friends and family after the rituals. The groom took to Instagram to announce the news to the world with a picture clicked by WeddingSutra Favorite – Picsurely, which he captioned “Love and Laughter. ❤”.
The couple reportedly met only a year ago. After a few months, Natalie shared a picture of Raghu going down on one knee to propose to her in South Africa. The duo got engaged in August in a ceremony that took place in Toronto before hosting their nuptials in India.
