What do you get when you have a destination wedding and an adorable couple? A match made in heaven. Neel and Apurva's story is one where strangers turn to soul mates. As all arranged marriages go they met through their families, got acquainted and steadily developed a strong bond that they solidified at The Kenilworth Resort and Spa in Goa. Over 350 guests from around the world gathered to celebrate #apneegalbangayi over 3 beautiful days of love and laughter.

• Neil & Apurva

The couple followed all the traditional ceremonies of a Hindu wedding - Haldi, Mahera and Pheras. But what's a wedding without dancing? The sangeet decked with fairy lights went on into the wee hours of the morning with an after party for the youngsters alongside a neon bar. Well one parties when in Goa and both the families sure showed us how! All the ceremonies had a water body in common. The Haldi was held on a sea-facing terrace, the pool party with games was...well at the pool and the wedding was at the most romantic location, the beach during an ethereal sunset.

The groom arrived in a beautifully decorated vintage car. Giving an unconventional twist to this arranged marriage was the gorgeous bride who wore blue. As she walked into the sunset to solemnise the union with her Prince Charming it was a sight to behold. The stunning decor with elegant white drapes and flowers and a gypsy ceiling was just the perfect touch. To cap it up beautifully, the event organisers lit up their hashtag with fireworks at a little distance from the mandap.

Last but not the least was the family dinner & a magic show by illusionist “Edmundo”. The match was made by families but Neel and Apurva had a wedding that was truly made in heaven.
