Lawyers by profession, college sweethearts Aayushi and Sourav tied the knot in the lush expanse of a luxury resort in Jim Corbett Park. Here are a few glimpses of the intimate wedding.
How they met
“Sourav and I were in law school together. The first time we spoke to each other, we both knew that it was no ordinary interaction. Around six years of togetherness has taught us that our opposing natures were designed to perfectly complete each other in the most beautiful way. From best friends to business associates and now life partners, our journey has been amazing, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for our future”.
Wedding Venue
“For our wedding, we wanted a place close to nature, and something that was very peaceful and calm. After some scouting, we found a beautiful property called Aahana The Corbett Wilderness Resort in Jim Corbett which was perfect for our intimate wedding with just close friends and our families.”
Wedding Planning
“To capture every moment of our wedding celebrations, we entrusted the talented team of Safarnama films with the responsibility of capturing our special memories. I chose Aarti Makker for my hair and makeup and she gave me flawless looks for each function. We did our entire trousseau shopping from Kolkata.”
