After being classmates in their Masters, Radhika and Yatin became friends and gradually started dating when they shifted to Bangalore for their jobs.

Living in the same society in Bangalore, they were almost destined to be together! “It’s been 5 years since then and there has obviously been no looking back.” reveals Radhika.

The Lockdown Strikes

Before covid and lockdown struck, their original plan was to have the wedding at the Noida Gold Course, but fate had other plans! Radhika and Yatin had to switch their dates and venue due to the lockdown.

Yours Forever

“Since most of the preparations were already done for the wedding – in terms of shopping and vendors, we stuck to the original plan as much as possible.” – quips Radhika.

They finally got hitched at Yatin’s farmhouse in Manesar on 26th June and the setting was as ethereal as it gets!

Post Covid Impact?

Give Me All Your Love

They limited their guest list to only immediate family and very close friends for a truly intimate yet memorable affair. Din Shagna Da helped plan their covid safe wedding with thermal screening of all staff, use of masks and sanitizers, and making sure the venue was properly sanitized before the event.

“Luckily, the major wedding shopping was completed just before the lockdown started.” 

Who doesn’t want a wedding filled with all the treasures and delights that you’ve always dreamed of… But our couple believed that “beauty is in the little things” and they managed with whatever they had at home to make their wedding as gorgeous and memorable as it could get!

From limiting food items to maintaining strict hygiene and adhering to all post covid norms – this couple ticked all the right check-boxes.

“Because of pandemic, we were a little skeptical in calling a mehendi artist since we did not know anyone near the farmhouse.” – says Radhika.

So guess who took up the task? Her sister! And it was just overwhelming when they actually got to relive their childhood stories about how she’d do the mehendi for her sister on her wedding <3

For the wedding, Radhika exuded the old world charm of beauty in simplicity in her lovely gold silk saree paired with a pink blouse. Evergreen gold jewellery and and center parted hair made her look as real as brides come 🙂 Just like she always wanted – simple and minimal.

Happiness Overloaded

My fiancé (now Husband 😉) has two left feet and has never danced before for an audience! But since I love to dance, he made an effort to dance with me on our Sangeet which was really the best wedding gift for not just me but for our families also <3

What NOT should brides do at lockdown weddings?

Every girl has a vision about her perfect dream wedding and wants to make that a reality. Given the lockdown, a lot of things might not be possible!
