Real Weddings: A Minimal Millennial At-Home Wedding

Tamanna says, "We were introduced to each other through our family while Amit was visiting Mumbai from London in Oct 2020 to meet his family. We had a very normal start to our relationship where we connected via WhatsApp messages and exchanged a few phone calls. After speaking to each other we decided to take the conversation forward and we finally met each other in person after 3 days of chatting and talking long hours on the phone. Rest was history because after knowing each other for 4 months we have taken the plunge and here we are happily married!"

"Initially our guestlist encompassed 8 people compromising Amit and his parents, my parents, siblings and me. However, we expanded our guest list to 16 people towards the end. I always dreamt of a minimalistic but meaningful wedding in the presence of my loved ones and I was elated that my dreams translated into reality. Since the guests were limited, we ensured all precautionary measures of sanitisation, temperature check and their travel history were taken into consideration."

"My favourite function was the pheras and the wedding itself because it was like a vision manifesting into reality. For me, since I am a Sikh and I have been a part of Sikh weddings that take place in gurudwaras. It was an absolute delight to have the Hindu pheras. This was a new experience and I thoroughly loved the detailing/meaning that goes behind all mantras, rituals and ceremony. The whole set up was just perfect. I will cherish this day for all my life."
