How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Sunny and I matched on Dil Mil in December of 2021 and met in person for the first time in Chicago in January 2022. I knew Sunny was the one March of 2022 during our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the Windy City.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Our proposal took place at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. First, it started with Sunny's minute decision to join Dhara and her family for Thanksgiving dinner at her home. We then headed to the city to help a friend set up for a proposal, while that's what Dhara thought. They got to the spot where the proposal was supposed to happen. Dhara started throwing rose petals in the path. When she was done, she turned around and saw Sunny down on one knee. After she said yes they had a photoshoot in all their favorite spots. Then went to Flight club where their first date was. Dhara was shocked when she walked in. All her family and friends were there, ready to celebrate the newly engaged couple. It was the PERFECT proposal.
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.
Venue:
We narrowed down to Dallas as our destination and then made a list of venues to tour. We mostly tour hotels and 2 non-traditional venues. The Dallas Oasis was chosen because of its opportunity to make each event seem like it was in a new place and it fit our guest count.
Hair & Makeup:
I knew I wanted Darshi from Chicago no matter where we ended up, so I made sure she was available and reserved her as soon as we had a date.
Decor:
With the help of my sister, we came up with a unique theme for each event with the mindset of reusing as much as we could.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
When thinking of my dream wedding dress, I knew I wanted a Sabyasachi; however, I could not justify their pricing. So I found a Delhi based designer that was willing to make me a custom made wedding lengha. She heard me out on all my plans and made my dream come true. The fabric, color, and handwork were all perfect. I was truly blown away by Raas Couture's work. Shefali and Esha were incredible throughout the whole process. They sent update videos and picture every step of the way and delivered the outfit right when they said they would. I would recommend them to any future bride.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The design of my wedding dress and decor was my favorite part.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our guest even til this day are talking about how great the food was at all the events. Sawaii blew us out of the water with their delivery of food. They are also talking about how beautiful the Dallas Oasis space was. It was a unique and non-traditional wedding venue.
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
My favorite moments from our wedding are the first look and our entrance to our reception. Our first look was perfect and so special. It was the one moment we got together to just take it all in before walking down the aisle. The reception entrance was perfect, we had the bridal party do a "bottle service" entrance and then had them stay on the dance floor to hype us up once we entered.
For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
Sangeet was a pastel color theme with food stations that covered all types of food. We had an ice cream cart on the move for any guest to enjoy a refreshing bowl of ice cream. We wanted each station to be a completely different experience.
Let the love stories remind you of the beauty and magic that weddings bring. Come back for more!
