Vishal and Shrishti first met at a business meeting. She says it was love at first sight for Vishal. They kept in touch, and Vishal pursued Shrishti very subtly. Small conversations turned into full days of them talking, and Shrishti had never felt more comfortable with anyone.
The wedding festivities for this beautiful couple started off with the engagement ceremony. Vishal proposed to Shrishti twice! Once with a promise ring and the second time with the actual engagement ring.
They had two big functions with approximately 1,000 people at the Renaissance Lucknow Hotel. The Haldi and mehndi ceremonies took place at Shrishti’s home in Lucknow.
They added lots of shades of pink into the wedding setup. They wanted to ensure that there were enough picturesque backdrops. Even though it was the same venue, it looked and felt completely different on both days.
As per the wedding week, it was sort of a crazy never-ending dance-off because they were just dancing for hours every single day. For the wedding, Shrishti opted for a pink lehenga by Shyamal & Bhumika, while Vishal wore an outfit by Raghavendra Rathore.
Advice for future brides: “Marry for the right reasons. Marry for love. The magic isn’t in getting married but in staying married. Don’t rush into things, don’t obsess over what others are doing, don’t compare – do whatever works for you as a couple. Lastly, don’t forget to enjoy every minute of it! During our two functions, the weather was amazing, but it was extremely windy, so the chandeliers were breaking during my entry, fabric and flowers were flying around and the cake was almost about to collapse – these things were absolutely out of control, but I couldn’t have cared less because I was marrying the love of my life!”
