How They Met
Rashmi shares, “Our families were introduced by a matchmaker in Delhi which led to our first meeting. I come from a world of fashion and creativity while he has an avid interest in the stock market and numbers. But somehow, we just instantly clicked!”

The Proposal
Overlooking the Arabian Sea, Amit popped the question to Rashmi on a cloudy morning in blissful Goa. Exuding romantic yet rustic vibes, the proposal decor made the moment even more unforgettable as Amit went down on one knee in front of Rashmi who stood in the center of a heart crafted out of rose petals.

Wedding Venue
Intent on orchestrating a destination wedding, the couple zeroed in on Goa. As they started scouting for wedding venues, they came upon the Taj Resort & Convention Centre, Goa which totally won them over with its laid-back vibes and uninterrupted views of the coastline making it the perfect canvas for their wedding. Rashmi shares, “We visited over 15 properties in Goa but the moment we stepped into the Taj Resort & Convention Centre, we just knew that this was it! The property gave us a Mykonos-like vibe which simply won us over. With its modern decor and fuss-free architecture, we felt like we were at an international destination. Amit and I loved the endless sea view, the hospitality and the warmth of the staff! Moreover, the variety of cuisines available here ensured that every palate was catered to and their seafood menu especially, was Amit’s absolute favorite.”

Wedding Planning
When it comes to a wedding, memories are one of the most precious possessions one takes back home. Ensuring that each moment of the wedding is captured in memorable frames was Dreamcatchers Photography. Rashmi gushes, “I haven’t seen a more passionate team of photographers! They were tireless at every event and extremely patient all through. They urged us for our solo and couple portraits and I’m so glad they did! Even the late hours of the night did not stop them as they kept clicking. With their efficient guidance, posing was really comfortable for us, which in turn made the proposal and pre-wedding photoshoot a real breeze. They captured the best memories of our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the results.”
