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.

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.
