Celebrating a journey that started in Medical school over 9 years ago, Doctor-duo Dhanashree Moghe and Aniruddha Jog tied the knot with a dreamy wedding at the luxurious property of Rhythm Lonavala. Read on to see how it unfolded!

Wedding Venue
In a romantic nod to their hill-station proposal, the couple picked the verdant property of Rhythm Lonavala for their monsoon wedding festivities. Offering both ease of access from Mumbai and the novelty of a destination getaway to their guests, the luxury resort was the perfect choice for their intimate wedding. Replete with chic rooms, diverse cuisines, and top-notch hospitality, it was the ultimate exclusive experience for the couple and their loved ones.

The couple sported a range of designer and traditional ensembles from a variety of stores, while Team Kajol R Paswwan gave the bride memorable looks. Their festive moments were all captured in pristine shots by Plush Affairs.

Mehendi
Hosted in July in the thick of the monsoon season, the wedding saw indoor festivities for all functions in the stunning venue spaces of Rhythm Lonavala. Kicking off the festivities with a lively mehndi function, the couple and their loved ones enjoyed an evening of music and dance. The groom was welcomed with a delightful choreographed performance to “SaajanJi ghar aaye” that set some major 90s throwback goals. Not one to back down, the groom then surprised everyone by singing a song for the bride, getting the ball rolling for the rest of the evening.

Haldi
The next day began with a vibrant haldi soiree decked with the traditional decor of marigolds. The occasion commenced with a heartfelt performance by the bride for the groom on “Kithe reh Gaya”, which the groom responded to with his performance of “Tenu leke”. Anchor Vinod then kept the energy going with a lively session of fun and games, after which everyone gathered for the ceremony.

Seemant Poojan
The ceremony of the “seemant poojan” marked a Maharashtrian wedding ritual where the groom was officially welcomed to the “seemant” or bride’s territory. It was an occasion filled with warmth and beautiful family moments.

Sangeet
Designed with thoughtfully curated decor that highlighted the evening’s festivities, the Sangeet function was centered around moments of love that celebrated the couple’s bond with their friends and family through dance. The highlight was the surprise dance by the bride’s cousins to their favorite childhood song “piya piya”, taking the bride down memory lane.

Wedding
The couple tied the knot with a traditional Maharashtrian wedding ceremony complete with the bride’s “nauvari paithani” saree in quintessential red and the groom’s “sohla”, as they partook in the custom of “saptapadi”, “kanyadaan”, etc, ending with “mangalashtak”. It was a morning steeped in auspicious tranquility, honoring their roots as they marked the start of their journey together. The ceremony was followed by a lunch and a small reception for the guests.

Advice for couples
“Start early with your planning process, especially when it comes to booking the venue. You and your partner are a team, don’t let the wedding planning, with its inherent disagreements, get in between. And finally, enjoy your day! Your pictures reflect your inner happiness, the beauty of which no makeup artist, clothes, or jewelry can match!”
