Priyanka and Adarsh, Udman Hotels and Resorts by Ferns N Petals

How we met
“Adarsh and I are both boarding school crop, stuck records, comfortable in a by-gone era, rusty friends and rotten humor. But that’s where the similarities end! When I crossed paths with him in Dehradun back in the 12th standard, any sort of friendship was highly unlikely. We had muted exchanges, awkward conversation fillers, honestly nothing worth remembering.

One day, we found ourselves in a spot where we couldn’t avoid talking to each other. I clearly recall thinking he was not half as boring as I’d pegged him to be. With hardly any originality within a year we’d plunged from ‘friend zone’ to ‘complicated territory’. Well, that was me being me. Drama follows me like a shadow. I simply can’t make the right decision unless I’ve tried all the wrong ones.

Though Adarsh and I dated for most of the last decade, we were never meant to marry- at least not to each other. In our parallel universe, ‘break up’ would be musical and we were to play ‘friends’ forever. Reality had its own charm- we squeezed the joy out of the finite time between us. But one day, a particular sour twist took the wind out of me. It was not another silly fight or a dumb argument- long pending but a slow realization. With dented dignity, I admitted that it was him alone and no one else for me!”

Wedding Planning
“I dived head first into this insane world of wedding planning and remained the foot soldier till the very end. From choosing the invites, menus, decor to food tasting- it all came under my umbrella. Weddings, like all other commercial activities, are budget driven with an emotional twist. Based on personal taste and preference, priority lists are made and followed. Adarsh and I skipped having any pre-wedding function- roka, engagement etc. We squeezed 4 functions into two days, followed by a sit-down dinner with close friends on day 3.

Khushi, my friend, stalked every single wedding photographer on Instagram. She spotted Camera Waale Baraati– and God bless her! The Baraatis represented the bride’s side this time and they did a brilliant job at it.

One thing I did right and I totally pat my own back for that is I didn’t obsess about a lot of things which can consume frantic brides. My wedding lehenga was locked in less than hour. Other than my wedding lehenga, fabric for my father, brother, brother-in-law’s suits, jodhpurs, etc. was all stitched by family tailors. And my best friend applied my mehndi- beat that!”

Wedding Venue
“Udman, an opulent property by Ferns and Petals was an instant hit with my father for the wedding venue. The brand name comes with a reputation for a higher degree of professional experience, excellent caterers on their panel, beautiful decor and it was weatherproof! We settled for Tivoli Pushpanjali to host the cocktail party for pretty much the same reasons. For me, however, the morning functions were close to my heart with sunshine and a select few who define my life. Our poolside haldi at the Taj Vivanta was as picturesque as it could get.”
