How We Met
Manoj lives in the US. For over six months, Sindhu and Manoj’s parents hounded them to meet. One day Manoj decided to call Sindhu, and they hit it off well. When they both spoke, Manoj was based in the UK, and Sindhu lived in Hyderabad. After talking for three to four days, they decided to meet. Without informing their parents, they both flew down to Mumbai and enjoyed the weekend together. The parents were so confused when the couple met with the entire family as they were extremely comfortable with each other. They told their parents they wanted to date for four to five months before they got engaged.

Proposal
Sindhu went to London and expected Manoj to propose, but he didn’t. But then he flew down to Hyderabad. When they were relaxing in his room, she suddenly she saw Manoj go down on one knee and propose. She couldn’t stop laughing and was glad that the surprise element was something he got right!

Wedding Venue
The couple wanted a wedding abroad, ideally on a beach. They had Bali in Indonesia and Thailand as their options. However, since it rains in Bali in February, their wedding planner suggested that they avoid getting married there. When a friend suggested the Rayong Marriott & Spa property, Sindhu fell in love with it. The location was convenient for their guests; there were warm, sunny beaches, multiple venues to explore and a beautiful ambiance all around.

Wedding Functions

Mehndi
The bohemian decor was the highlight of the mehndi function. Beautiful dream catchers, tents, and traditionally designed Thailand umbrellas added color to the ambiance. Sindhu chose to keep the colors subtle for her attire and picked a pastel palette for the guest’s dress code. As a result, everyone wore pastel shades and solid colors for this fun function.

Breezy Brunch
The couple organized a pool party so that the guests could chill with brunch, food, and volleyball before the wedding ceremonies commenced.

Wedding
Pink and green decor with flowers was the highlight of this sunset wedding. The mandap was rustic in its vibe and was set up on the sandy beach. Sindhu was a part of the baraat because she didn’t want to miss the fun. Manoj and Sindhu didn’t want a typical bride-groom entry, and instead of entering in a car, they decided to walk down the aisle together during the baraat and then for the main ceremony as well.
