Real Weddings: Never Looking Back

How They Met

Jai and Meghna first dated each other in high school, but they broke up a few years later. Later, they realised they were truly meant for each other. After learning from their journey, they got back together and have been inseparable ever since.

The Next Step

Jai first spontaneously proposed to Meghna in July 2009, outside a shopping mall. However, the formal proposal took place years later at his mother’s 50th birthday in 2019. Jai orchestrated an impressive performance along with some friends, eventually going down on one knee to ask the love of his life to marrry him.

Wedding Planning

Meghna had a clear vision for each of her wedding functions. “I wanted each one to be unique, while keeping the weather in mind. For the mehendi function, we chose a pastel theme, and our guests wore easy-breezy silhouettes such as kaftans and kurtas,” explains the bride. While Covid-19 and budget restrictions posed to be an obstacle, the functions were memorable for all involved.

My Advice

“Remember to enjoy yourself and focus on the positives, rather than dwelling on any negative aspects. While things may not go according to schedule, make it a point to cherish the process. PS: you don’t want to be hungover on your wedding day!” recommends the bride.

Living Through a Pandemic

Meghna and Jai often watch movies and work out together in their spare time. However, they respect each other’s personal space as well. While on some days, Jai takes time off to play video games, Meghna uses the time to focus on work.
