My advice

Before making any decisions, think about what is meaningful to you and your partner, list down the non negotiables, and then cover them across different events.

The Hindu ceremony in Delhi was at our friend’s farmhouse.

It is a place where we have spent a lot of time in and have created fond memories. Therefore, having our ceremony there felt natural.

It is only when the wedding planning started we learnt about our contrasting visions of how we wanted to get married.

I wanted a small barbecue on the beach with our closest friends while Varun wanted a big celebration with as many people as possible. We met in the middle by hosting an intimate Catholic ceremony in Goa and a large Punjabi bash in Delhi.

We were in a long-distance relationship, punctuated with many vacations.

Six months later we decided to live with each other. And after five years of living, travelling, eating good food, and indulging in things together, Varun proposed on our holiday in Hawaii.
