Rahul and Trisha first crossed paths in school where she was totally oblivious to Rahul’s affections for her. However, fate had other plans and despite any challenges coming their way, nothing could keep them apart!
Wedding Venue
Located by the Chao Phraya river in eleven acres of lush greenery, the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort gave the couple ample greenery along with the sheer convenience of Bangkok city for their intimate Wedding.
