How did you meet your Groom, and when did you know he was "the one"?
Our story started when we met through a dating app and had our first date over dinner and drinks in Montclair, NJ. Right off the bat, I instantly felt comfortable with him and could tell that he was genuinely a great guy.
I knew he was “the one” for me when I first introduced him to my friends and family. He fit in so seamlessly and made every moment more fun. He genuinely puts in a lot of effort in all of his relationships, especially when trying to get to know someone new, and always makes sure to include everyone. I knew he was “the one” and only for me when I realized he truly was a better person than me.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We were on a trip to Cancun for a friend’s wedding, and we stayed a couple of extra days with our friends. On one of the nights, he wanted to take me to dinner to celebrate my birthday. Rather than eat at a restaurant at the all-inclusive we were staying at, he wanted to take me somewhere off the resort. I had absolutely no idea where we were going. We ended up at the Ritz Carlton, and he reserved a stunning beachfront casita table for us. At one point, he got up to use the “bathroom,” and while he was gone, our waiter came by to tell me he had a surprise for me. I was so confused, but I went with it because he seemed like a nice guy, and it was a fancy resort (in hindsight, probably not the safest thing to do). He proceeded to blindfold me and walk me over to a spot on the beach. It was when the waiter took the blindfold off that I saw Geet standing there smiling as he took my hands in his. I looked around and was stunned to see the giant letters “MARRY ME” behind us while we were standing in the middle of a heart made with tiki torches. Geet had a monologue, but I was in shock, and it’s all a blur. All I remember is him kneeling on one knee and me excitedly saying, “Yes.”
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.
Geet and I knew from the beginning that we wanted to have a destination wedding so all of our loved ones can be in one place on vacation mode and enjoy our wedding as an experience without the stressors of having to go home and change in between events. We instantly connected with Ateet from Indian Destination Weddings, who was amazing throughout our entire wedding planning experience. He helped us select Moon Palace Jamaica, connected us to the best wedding planner we could’ve asked for, Sumeet from Dream Shaadi, and helped arrange the room bookings and shuttles for our guests.
For my outfits, I wanted to go with more timeless and flowy outfits that weren’t super heavy since we were in Jamaica. My makeup artist, Joni, from Gourmet Makeup, and hair stylist, Cadey, from In Your Face Beauty, were an amazing team that helped me create different looks for each event. Our first event, the Welcome Party, was on the beach, and we went with a bold, vibrant, and colorful theme since we were welcoming our guests to Jamaica. We went with the traditional yellow/orange theme for our morning Haldi. Our Sangeet theme was a bit less traditional, with navy blue and white to match our outfits. We also had our guests wearing pastel colors so that our outfits would stand out. For the wedding, I wore an all-red outfit, and Geet wore a cream Sherwani with red jewelry to match. We picked light pink for our bridal party, which matched our white, blush, and pink florals on the mandap. Lastly, for the reception, we went with a dusty blue theme to complement my icy gray/blue lehenga.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I have always loved red lehengas for Hindu brides, and I fell in love with Priyanka Chopra’s all-red wedding lehenga because of the modern twist to a traditional wedding color. It looks so classy and timeless, and I used that as the inspiration behind my all-red wedding lehenga. I picked my wedding lehenga because of my dupatta. I loved the sheer dupatta with the scalloped red embroidery border.
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
When Geet cried on the morning of our wedding during our first look, especially because he’s not a crier. Another moment that stands out is that after days of partying, our guests still partied with us at our reception until 3 am thanks to our amazing DJs at MVPDJs who kept the dance floor lit all night long!
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
If you’re planning a destination wedding, definitely try to hire a wedding planner so you can enjoy your wedding events without stressing over the small details. Because of Sumeet, we enjoyed our wedding to the fullest and genuinely had no idea of all the small things that went wrong.
Also, I know sometimes brides will question if all this work is worth it, but when the events get started, you will realize it was all worth it to have all your loved ones together to celebrate you. It’s the most magical feeling in the world.
