Introducing Meghna & Jai
"Jai and I met in school," Meghna recalled to us, "We sated in 8th grade, which was a relationship that didn't even last a week. However, post that when Jai realised what an amazing girlfriend I could be, he took it upon himself to get me back. This聽was tough, considering I had started to dislike him after the little mishap."
However, 7 months of being聽friends post-breakup, Meghna knew that Jai was really head over heels for her, "He wooed me each day. And every other day, we'd go watch the sunset on the beach by my building. Being 16, I doubted this would last. Still, we gave it a shot irrespective of what others had to say."
12 years later, the Meghna and Jai are still going strong. And now they've begun their journey as a married couple! "Of course, we had our ups and downs. But we stuck around and grew up together and made it our journey. Not perfect, but real. Each day learning something new about each other."
The couple's #MegJesstic wedding took place at the聽Alila Diwa Hotel in Goa, which was an intimate affair with a stellar guest list full of celebrities!
Mehendi Ceremony
The sunny mehendi was an afternoon full of fun, dance and lots of dhol. Meghna dressed up in a neat dusty rose lehenga with multicoloured 3D embroidery and nalki work by聽Richa Jaisinghani Label, while Jai chose an off white kurta payjama with a stunning black nehru jacket with intense decorative thread embroidery by聽NM Studio.
