There's a new wedding trend in town, and that's Intimate Weddings!

We all love a wedding, that's for sure. And we were quite bummed about the lockdown and the ongoing pandemic affecting (or simply聽put, stopping) all the pre-planned weddings. However, ever since the lockdown happened, news of couples holding intimate weddings has been all over social media. While there have been a few more relaxations for intimate weddings, we cannot聽overlook all the wonderful small weddings that have happened during this time. These amazing couples have inspired us that irrespective of the situation, people who love each other can strive to build a lifeboat and sail through these problems, together.聽

So, here are some inspiring couples that recently held Intimate Weddings in light聽of this pandemic!

Couples Who Had Intimate Weddings

Deepika Ghose, the infamous RCB girl, married her long time beau, Chitang, at an intimate wedding at her Nani's place. The couple had to cancel their lavish destination wedding in Thailand due to the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. However, the decision to hold their intimate wedding with their friends and family was the right one, as overseas travel was basically off the table. The wedding was no less than a wonderful celebration, with Deepika donning the infamous Dil Gusdata lehenga for the ceremony.聽

Tarini & Nikhil

Tarini and Nikhil were set to be married in Thailand, after a long romantic relationship and a very complicated long planning period. However, due to the pandemic rapidly spreading in South East Asia at that time, the couple had to, unfortunately, cancel their destination wedding.
