Rachita and Rohan, Jaipur
The mughal inspired gilded décor dotted with decadent red roses cast a magical, royal ambience on the wedding festivities.
Childhood sweethearts Rachita and Rohan commemorated more than a decade of love and friendship with a charming, royal wedding. Brimming with moments of joy and laughter, the candor of their revelries were captured in gorgeous frames by WeddingSutra Favorite – Shutterdown.
How They Met
The couple discovered true love at the tender age of 16, and knew they had found their partner for life. “When Rohan, who was a family friend, expressed his feelings to me, I knew right away that I wanted to be with him. However, with a dreamy idea of romance at that age built by movies and books, I waited for a few days before reciprocating my feelings” she chuckles. “What followed were 12 years of friendship, fights, happiness, long distance and so much more that created a lasting base for a life-long commitment and love. In 2019, we brought our family into the fold, and tied the knot in March of 2020”.
Wedding Planning
The couple envisioned a destination wedding, and found their perfect venue at Indana Palace Jaipur. Their dream wedding was brought to life with memorable functions featuring distinct themes. Their joyous wedding was a fitting celebration of their years of love and friendship, full of candid moments of laughter and enjoyment, which were captured perfectly by Shutterdown.
