Happy Monday, my dears! Today is January's last day, and to close it with love, I want to share Nitya & Ujjwal's magnificent wedding event with you. So, get yourselves ready to dive into this entry! This in-love young couple hosted a gorgeous reception at the Omni Louisville. This venue is the perfect place for an unforgettable day because of the historic surroundings and modern comforts. B3 Event Management teamed up with Weddings InStyle to inspire the guests, flawlessly execute the wedding plan, and decorate the venue with unique and memorable floral arrangements. Can you imagine how the bride and groom felt? I believe they were dazzled by the captivating ambiance. Maharanis, a big event like your wedding must have great music and exquisite cuisine. Moghul Caterers covered the culinary part of our lovebirds' wedding. The guests will remember the dish our couple chose to serve! Unquestionably! Sweeties, let me tell you about the incredible traditional gowns our Nitya wore. One of India's leading fashion houses, Shyamal & Bhumika, and the impressive designs of Anushree Reddy were part of our Maharani's looks. Nitya made everyone sigh with her golden ruby lengha! Her looks combined perfectly with the artistic Mehndi design by Meera. I think the handsome groom, Ujjwal, was blessed with such a beautiful Maharani. As you know, a film is always a great way to share a story; lucky for our couple, A&A Video Productions are experts in their field. They were present to record every significant moment of Nitya & Ujjwal's big day! One of the most significant parts of this wedding event is the fantastic photography job Regeti's Photography did. So, if you can't get enough of this charming couple, you must take a closer look at their extraordinary celebration of love on the gallery we have prepared for you. Every photo is a visual delight you don't want to miss!
How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
My husband and I met on Dil Mil the dating app, just 2 months before the pandemic. Both of us had been disappointed through the years by people who weren't right for us, so having high hopes was tough for me. He jokes now that he swiped because he liked Houston (where I was living at the time), and I confessed that I had low expectations when I swiped right--no way someone this cute was drama free! We became fast friends immediately and would talk on the phone for hours, usually during his long commute home (DC traffic!). It was so refreshing to get to know each other over the phone, talking about everything under the sun, that by the time we met a month later, we felt like old friends. Over the next couple months, things moved pretty fast. I have to admit I was a little hesitant to let my walls down at first, but his leap of faith inspired me. I think I knew he was the one when I saw how much he tried for me. He made efforts to call, to visit, to write letters, to let me know what his intentions were. He even asked to meet my parents, which I've never had a guy do! My small circle of girlfriends who love me the most all independently commented how happy I was and how they could see this was different.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Due to covid, his proposal plans got messed up several times! It was April of 2020, the first peak of the pandemic. He was in Houston visiting me for my birthday. He tried his best to surprise me but was pretty nervous so he asked questions like , "If I was going to propose on your birthday, what would you wear? Just asking" Needless to say, I had a new dress and was ready! Nothing prepared me for what he had planned. He sent me out on an errand to pick up dessert our friends had sent us from a local bakery- when I got back, there were tea light candles everywhere, an ipad set up recording everything, him in a suit and a bottle of champagne waiting. I ran to the bathroom to change into my birthday dress, but was so excited and nervous at the beautiful display in my living room, that I locked myself in the bathroom and texted my best friend! My heart was pounding as I knew my entire life was about to change in the next few minutes. She finally convinced me to get off the phone and go back out there-- when I did, he told me how beautiful I looked, got down on one knee and proposed , all on video. He says he forgot what he was originally going to say, but it didn't matter because I was so shocked by the moment that I barely heard him anyway. The ring was beautiful and perfect and everything I wanted--definitely one of the happiest moments of my life.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Honestly wedding planning was an extremely stressful process every step of the way. We had to plan everything twice due to Covid and even had to switch planners at one point. The latter turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to us. B3Events and specifically Vini Desai handled everything so well and were there every step of the way when there were bumps along the road--and there were many! Reservation issues, outfits botched, covid delays, vendors ghosting, technical issues, it was one crisis a week on average but in the end, it all came together beautifully.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The food! The cuisine was very diverse and had lots of creative Indian vegetarian options for all. Edible avocado spoons, naan pizza, chaat on a stick- there was something for everyone! Also since I had friends from all different stages of life there, it was awesome to see the groups of friends reunite with one another and eat together.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
I wasn't necessarily the little girl who dreamed about my dream wedding. I was more the one who envisioned future life with my husband and babies. But by the time I got engaged, after years of searching, I felt so lucky to be able to marry my best friend, and realized how much I wanted to celebrate that. I won't even pretend that wedding planning is not that bad- for me it was more stressful than medical school! But I think when you feel like giving up or start to think 'I dont care anymore' try to remember the big picture and the memory you are creating. Try to keep the goal in mind and that the stress is temporary. I also had heard that wedding weekend goes by fast but I never anticipated how little time there would be for planned things, like certain photos and looks. Everything was a rush- not sure a way around that, but knowing that it is coming helps to offset some of the stress. Lastly, I would say there will be people there you love dearly and want to catch up with, but you will be swept away every 30 seconds to greet someone else. Try to make the best of those short visits with friends, even if its a quick photo, a bite of food and a giggle, or a hug on the dance floor. Live in the moment and let it all go during your wedding weekend- after all that planning, you deserve it!
Come back tomorrow to start a new lovely month full of cute stories!
