Planned and executed perfectly by WeddingSutra Favorite – Exotic Goa, watch their wedding gaieties unfold below.

How they met

Shivangi and Ankit first crossed paths at their society’s New Year’s Eve party. “Ankit broke the ice with the classic line of – I think I’ve seen you somewhere” Shivangi laughs, “While I found it charming, we didn’t communicate much until I responded to his message on the society’s group chat a few days later, looking for people who played basketball. We became friends playing hoops and soon our conversations turned into long walks and drives. I already knew that he was the perfect guy for me, but he felt that the realization set in on our first trip to Mussoorie, and he popped the question to me a month later with a grand proposal and gala dinner. My life has been a fairytale ever since”.

Wedding Planning

The couple envisioned a vibrant celebration and entrusted the renowned team of Exotic Goa to orchestrate their events. From a laid back beach party to a Spanish-themed Mehndi, Bollywood night and more, they planned every function with distinct themes for an unforgettable experience.

All of their special moments were immortalized in beautiful frames by the team of Lenseyezia. Talking about their experience, they share, “Our wedding was beautifully photographed by the amazing Lenseyezia team. They paid attention to the minutest of details, and caught every hidden moment and emotion beautifully. It was the best decision to choose them as our wedding photographers and we would highly recommend them to everyone”.

Advice for couples

“The only tip I would give to couples who’re getting married is to be calm and constantly communicate with each other which really helps. With the stress of wedding planning, if there is a communication gap, it could lead to arguments and may ruin the experience which should otherwise be joyous”.
