Meet Aish and Sahil
Aish and Sahil met at a play through a mutual friend. In 2023, during a visit to India, Sahil accompanied this friend to a theater where Aish was performing in a play called "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" As she prepared for the production, Aish's goal was simple: to make the audience feel a little more loved and a little less alone. Little did she know that among the viewers that night was Sahil, who would change her life forever. From perfect strangers, they became life partners.
Sahil, who shared a love for theater, was captivated by Aish's performance and felt an immediate connection with her. After the play, they spent time together with their mutual friend, which led to them exchanging numbers and starting a conversation. What began as casual texts and phone calls quickly grew into something deeper, and they soon realized they were meant to grow old together.
Years earlier, Aish had written a short film titled "Table for One," about a woman dining alone in a Parisian restaurant, inspired by Le Grand Colbert. Sahil found the script, rewrote the ending, and titled it "Table for Two." They flew to Paris, and in that very restaurant, with both their families present, Sahil proposed to Aish.
Shortly after, they began planning their wedding, which took place in the stunning setting of Tuscany, Italy.
Mehendi-Haldi Welcome Lunch
Their Mehendi-Haldi function was an elegant Italian brunch with vineyard views, blending tradition with relaxation and fun. Rich blue and yellow linens, geometric patterns, and lemon motifs set the tone, with real lemons adorning the couple's backdrop, centerpieces, and a limoncello favor wall. While embracing an Italian vibe, the event maintained Indian traditions by incorporating a Haldi ceremony, where guests applied Haldi to Aish and Sahil, followed by a flower shower. Mehendi artists, traditional potli giveaways with beaded hair clips and bindis, and an emcee-led icebreaker games ensured everyone felt engaged.
The bar menu featured themed drinks like Vitamin C shots and Orange Sunrise, and even the dress code matched the Italian theme. To kick off the celebration, Aish and Sahil made a grand entrance on a Vespa to a popular Italian song, setting the perfect tone for the festivities.
Sangeet
Their Sangeet featured hues of purple, touches of gold, and chandeliers, creating a glamorous backdrop for lively dance performances by family and friends. The dress code matched the theme, adding to the event's elegance. The couple's energetic entrance set the tone, leading into a magical dance with 15 cold pyros.
Family and friends performed, followed by a dance face-off hosted by the emcee, blending Gujarati and Punjabi cultures. Punjabis learned Dandiya, and Gujaratis performed Bhangra, creating a beautiful cultural exchange. The night ended with an after-party that lasted until 4 AM. Guests were provided with hand and body warmers, and the bar menu featured his and her favorite drinks, all customized to the theme.
