Sangeeta and Michael, Alila Fort Bishangarh, Jaipur

British-born Michael married his Indian Bengali bride Sangeeta in a destination wedding with three days of non-stop enjoyment. WeddingSutra Favorite – Konark Events transformed each event into a mesmerizing spectacle. Witness the magic come alive!

How They Met
Their love story, like many modern romances, began in a familiar setting- their workplace. What began as a friendship first, blossomed and deepened during the challenging days of the pandemic when they found solace and support in each other’s company. Michael’s persuasive nature and undying belief in their relationship won Sangeeta over. Their shared passion for cooking, penchant for early nights, technology, and personal values brought them closer together. It wasn’t until a secret holiday to Mykonos, however, that the true depth of their feelings became evident. Their adventure continued in Cyprus where the fusion of history and modernity mirrored their own blend of experiences and aspirations. It was a moment of clarity that set the course for their shared future and thus began their wedding story.

Wedding Planning
The London-based couple tied the knot in Jaipur at the striking venue of Alila Fort Bishangarh. It was a two-day palatial affair which consisted of a Cocktail, Mehendi, Haldi, Sangeet, and the Wedding. They entrusted ace Konark Events, who crafted each function with unmatched creativity and sophistication.

With organic colors and flower showers, the celebration was reminiscent of a Holi-ed Haldi.

Wedding
