Vivid Capture Studio has hit a home run with this spectacular highlight reel they shot and edited from Adity and Arjun's sensational Indian wedding celebration in Long Island, New York! It opens up with a look at the happy couple as they get ready for their big day, and within seconds, the 0:23 mark to be exact, Maharani Adity reveals her extraordinary mehndi work by Zara Henna, and it will take your breath away (see her feet at 1:31!). Hair and makeup artist, Nina Doshi, helps the blushing Indian bride with her wedding day look and Stylish Events takes the floral and decor details to Maharani status with a ceremony stage that's divine and decorative reception elements that shine.

Following the happy couple's sensational Vedic ceremony, which included its own celebration, this second day of festivities is the cherry on top of the sensational wedding sundae.

It's the day of the wedding and we get to see Adity getting all dolled up for her big day. Hair and makeup artist, Nina Doshi, styles our Maharani's hair into a cute and elegant updo, while giving her flawless face a luminous, bronze glow. I love Vivid Capture Studio's close-up shot of Adity's beautiful hands covered in a gorgeously artistic mehndi design by Zara Henna! You can see every detail magnified to perfection! Now dressed to impress in a lovely red and gold sari, our bride is off to get married at the Melville Marriott Long Island in New York, where Stylish Events designs a captivating mandap. The arch arbor looks striking, adorned with luscious arrangements of red and white roses and gold elephant statues. What a picturesque setting! After the heartfelt I do's and malas were exchanged, our newlyweds partied all night long at their posh Indian wedding reception. To keep the guests content and entertained, Moghul Caterers served up the feast while DJ Monu Singh Entertainment mixed up the beats.

Lito Sy Photography captured some amazing moments from this three-day Indian wedding event in the Philippines, and I'm so excited to share all of the unforgettable details with you today! First, let's take a look at some of the pre-wedding celebrations that went down at the Shangri-La's Mactan Resort & Spa in Cebu! This extraordinary affair kicked off with a Misri, celebrating the bride, Nish, and groom, Sono's, exciting engagement! The blushing Indian bride wore a delicate green dress and had a no-fuss, yet flawless, hair and makeup style. For the following night's mehndi party, she turned up the volume and donned an orange and gold lengha with pink accents, and had a fabulously finished updo. Maharani Nish's jewels were on point and Pink Flora's decor work was stunning! Maxx Entertainment was also on hand to help keep the party going with their heart-pumping playlist and DJ'ing expertise, so you can be sure partygoers kicked this multi-day celebration off in major Maharani style! Check out even more from the pre-wedding festivities in the complete gallery!

The bride, on how she met the Raja of her dreams:

"We met almost a decade ago because of mutual friends, and that did not go well. We have good memories of that evening, but it was two years later that we met again in NYC that something "happened." He was living in Montreal and I was in NY - so it took a bit of planning and jumping around for our first date to actually occur. We both had one of the best weekends we can remember in (of all places) Burlington, VT, and that was it..."

On her Raja's unforgettable proposal:

"Although lacking anything too sentimental, Sono proposed on a speed boat, just the two of us. We were in Balesin, a private island in the Philippines. He managed to bring a handful of close friends, and said we were going away to celebrate his birthday.
Before he popped the question, he asked me a set of questions. Many that we had discussed along the course of our relationship. I was getting a little frustrated with the 20 questions, since I had come from a morning at the spa, and an afternoon sangria, that I really did not see it coming. It had all the 'down on one knee' cliches, but he was wearing Bob Marley shorts and calm as a cucumber. Speechless and engaged, we returned to the dock and his friends hopped on the boat for a lovely celebration."

On her wedding planning experience:

"I was planning a move, and traveling to Cebu to do site visits, heading to India for my bridal shopping, and the US to buy all the other "necessities" that a girl has to have before her wedding. It was an insane 8 months. But, once we saw how it all turned out in Cebu - we knew it was worth it.
I do have to add, the people we worked with (our vendors, all the people involved) - they were the stars. They made it what it was, and that much more enjoyable."

Stay tuned for highlights from the happy couple's wedding ceremony!
