Deepak and Rashmi chose to host their destination wedding at the Rayong Marriott Resort and Spa in Thailand which offered a range of venues for diverse events – from a cool mehndi party to a stylish musical sangeet. Check out the highlights and photos below.

How They Met
It was love at first sight when Deepak and Rashmi were first introduced to each other by their parents. However, Cupid’s arrow met its mark and the duo realized that they were meant for each other.

Wedding Functions

Welcome Dinner
Guests who had flown in from far and wide were welcomed with a sumptuous buffet at the welcome dinner. This was a relaxing warm up event for the upcoming celebrations as guests mingled with each other in a laid back setting of C-Salt, a breezy all-day restaurant at the resort. Rashmi wore a mauve gown by Teri Jon, which she bought in Los Angeles, US, and Deepak wore an ensemble from Ted Baker.

Mehndi
The rain may have drenched the couple’s plans for a pool party but it did not stop the guests from partying at the Hawaiian-themed mehndi function. Rashmi, dressed in a Samantha Dexhiemer creation, matched Deepak’s summer ensemble from Zara. Dancers in Hawaiian themed outfits swayed on the floor alluring the guests to step up with the dancing beats. Cocktail drinks added that unmistakable mood of cheery celebrations.

Ring Ceremony and Sangeet
Deepak and Rashmi got engaged officially before the big ring ceremony and that event was just attended by close family and friends. At this fun event, Deepak surprised Rashmi with his Bollywood star-like performance, and she impressed him too with her dance moves. Rashmi looked like a princess in her blue lehenga from Asma Couture while Deepak was no less than a Prince Charming in his Indo-western outfit by Shantanu & Nikhil.

‘Yaadon Ki Barat’
For this musical soiree, Ashish Thadani charmed the audience by singing timeless hits in his mellifluous voice. The audience were captivated and sang along with Ashish.

‘Swag Night’
The younger guests headed for the ‘Swag Night’ where they grooved to the latest Bollywood hits till the wee hours of the morning. Deepak changed into a more comfortable outfit from Armani Exchange while Rashmi glowed in a mint green, off-shoulder, jumpsuit from Rita’s Couture.

Ghari Ceremony
The bride’s and the groom’s families conducted their ‘ghari’ ceremonies separately and one after the other. It was a solemn ceremony for both families.

Wedding
A three-hour puja was conducted before Rashmi and Deepak exchanged garlands. Rashmi chose the classic bridal colors – maroon and gold – for her lehenga from Rita’s Couture. Deepak matched her look by picking a traditional sherwani in similar colors from Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Reception
Looking elegantly styled, Rashmi and Deepak took everyone’s breath away as they entered the hall. After the cake cutting ceremony, loved ones gave speeches which was followed by a round of hugs. The young ones continued the celebrations by jiving to rocking Bollywood music on the dance floor.
