This couple’s beachside Valentine’s Day wedding was a joyous “jugalbandi” of Gujarati and Marwari cultures.

How they met
Vidushi shares, “We met 10 years ago in college and have been together ever since. Ours was a strong base of friendship and love woven together which gradually strengthened into an enduring bond. We’ve organically grown together in happiness and contentment, and our wedding was the perfect celebration of our decade long journey.”

The Proposal
“For my birthday, we had planned a celebration with our close friends with tons of adventure activities. It was during a kayaking ride when Sagar proposed while all our friends held up umbrellas with “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” written on each one. I was completely blown away as I had absolutely no inkling! It was an instant ‘yes’, and our wedding preparation journey began thereafter. Both our parents were overjoyed and accepted our union with open arms” says the bride.

Wedding Venue
The 2-day celebrations were hosted at Holiday Inn Resort Goa. Boasting of beautiful panoramic views of the nature on one side and the sparkling beach on the other, while impeccable hospitality and gorgeous venues made this a perfect choice.

Wedding Planning
“The events were designed and conceptualized by Goa based event planners Siddhivinayak Events, who did a marvelous job of breathing life into our dreams. The beautiful events of the wedding were immortalized by Silon Talkies. One of the best and most professional photographers we have come across and every little detail was captured and beautifully portrayed. The pre wedding shoot was also done in Goa and they truly reflected our love with their perfect shots.”

The fabulous Sangeet performances were choreographed by Arun Aryan while DJ Ravi and Priyanka Lal kept the guests entertained.

Wedding
Looking resplendent in an intricately embroidered pastel and ivory sherwani by Just Men, the groom rode in amidst all the glory of a traditional baraat. As his friends and family danced alongside, spectacularly dressed in the traditional gharcholas of Kutchi culture, women performed the mesmerizing traditional dance of matukdi. Once the baraat reached, ladies from the bride’s side engaged in the Rajasthani tradition of tikka and nose pulling, followed by the custom of Milni where the men of both houses welcomed each other with garlands.
Dressed in a gorgeous lehenga of pastel hues and a red dupatta, the bride entered under a beautiful phoolon ki chadar with her bridesmaids and brothers. The couple exchanged garlands and tied the knot in a divine floral yet minimalistic mandap against the magical sunset and the sound of the waves. The Mangalsutra and Mang bharna took place with firecrackers and neon balloons shooting in the sky, bringing the grand celebration to a breathtaking end.
