"The traditional attire a bride wears for her wedding is passed down generations. The outfit my daughter-in-law wore for her nikah was originally worn by my grandmother. Over 45 kilos in weight, it featured pure gold embroidery, which was accessorised with a traditional nath, maangtikka, and jhoomar encrusted with Basra pearls."

"Haider and Ananya took a trip to Bali in 2019. And while it seemed to be just another vacation, little did Ananya know what he had in mind... Haider had pre-planned a proposal with the help of three of his friends—candles, flowers, the works. When Ananya got to the location, he went down on one knee, holding the most impressive ring."
