Rather than handling it all by yourself, consider getting a wedding planner on board. Share all the ideas you have in mind, even if they don’t quite match your budget. Also, wear a comfortable pair of shoes to dance the night away! Lastly, pick the best photographer in town because capturing these moments is worth every penny.

The most special moment was when we made our couple entry donning matching, hand-painted denim jackets with ‘Mr & Mrs Chopra’ embroidered on them. Since ours was a destination wedding, my vidai was also super fun. The distance I had to cover was from the venue to my room, on a golf cart.

Being around Lovish just makes the entire world a better place to live in, which is probably why I was drawn to him when we first met in New York. We instantly connected and are falling more in love with every passing day. Since we share a similar professional background we found it easier to communicate, express our interests, and understand one another.
