Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Tapan and I had made a pact to travel as much as we could while in residency to make up for lost time in medical school. He booked a trip to Paris and informed me the day we landed that we had reservations at an upscale restaurant with a formal dress code. We woke up late so naturally, we rushed out of our hotel as I thoroughly embraced my caffeine withdrawal headache. He asked our cab driver to drop us off at the Bir-Hakeim bridge with the Eiffel Tower in the background. He insisted we take pictures under the "Inception movie bridge" and assured we would still make it to our lunch in time. He handed our jackets and my purse to a couple who was passing by and asked them to take a picture of us. I was too distracted by this gesture, wondering why my purse was with a stranger to notice he had already knelt down on one knee. The couple i.e. the professional photographers managed to capture my confusion and surprise oh so well.

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We initially started to plan the wedding in the Summer of 2019 when we went to Mumbai. We started with what I enjoyed the most...shopping for our wedding attire, of course. The wedding was set to occur in May 2020 in an outdoors setting hence we wanted light colors with intricate floral designs/embroidery for the AM ceremony. For the reception, we wanted an ode to the roaring '20s and went for a Gatsby vibe, with more elegant geometric patterns. Our vendors were finalized quite early on, but unfortunately, we had to make numerous changes due to rescheduling the event twice over in the era of Covid.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
After walking through multiple boutiques and showrooms, I came across my ideal wedding outfit at the Anita Dongre store in Mumbai. I presented my vision to them and they graciously agreed to customize the color scheme, down to the thread work for my lengha. The ivory lengha with accents of green and blush foliage was perfect for our theme when paired with the blush pink blouse. We stumbled upon Krésha Bajaj's showroom on a whim searching for the Gatsby-Esque gown I had envisioned. Krésha Bajaj's ivory lengha was the perfect fit with its elegant yet intricate design; which paired perfectly with Tapan's white Tux. The look was complete with the final magical touch by my amazing MUA.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The wedding planning process was quite stressful as we were both in residency in different states working very different schedules during the pandemic. The one silver lining was this process allowed us to work diligently together (although virtually) and share a "normal" task in what seemed like a chaotic, abnormal, and unpredictable time.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The ability to celebrate together after social gatherings with loved ones had gone on a hiatus. Although the ceremony was more intimate than originally planned, everyone fully enjoyed the entertainment (notably our amazing DJs), food, and the general ambiance of the Legacy castle. We have beautiful candid pictures which have captured these moments. This was also made possible by our day-of wedding planners who greatly assisted in making the day run seamlessly. The

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Tapan said: The Bridal party (Bridesmen and Bridesmaids) walked out with our portraits displaying the memories over 11 years of dating. There were 11 pictures each corresponding to a respective year/memory which made me very nostalgic. It made me very emotional as I eagerly awaited her entrance.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Oftentimes we forget the big picture while planning the "perfect big fat Indian wedding." It can be stressful and nerve-wracking but at the end of the day, your big day will be filled with invaluable memories. Don't forget to prioritize your mental well-being while you are catering to needs of your loved ones.

My dears, keep coming back for more!
