We often make the mistake of jumping to conclusions too soon or judging a book by its cover, only to realize that things weren’t as we expected or assumed. I, Purva Patel am fortunate to say that my love story follows this pattern, culminating in a happy ending. What began as a doubtful love story with no future turned out to be an intriguing and heartwarming tale to remember.

When Luka Chuppi Turns Into Gup Shup
Ours was an arranged marriage, with a path that was not very smooth. During our first call, both of us (Yash and I), felt uneasy and were not comfortable enough to break the ice, so we ended the conversation within twenty minutes. That is when I started doubting our compatibility. Despite initial inhibitions and hesitations, my curiosity led me to text him. To my surprise, he responded, marking the commencement of our all-day ‘gup shup’ via text messages. We continued texting for nearly a month, yet he never suggested a phone call. Impatiently, I decided to take the lead, breaking the virtual barrier by asking if calling was an option. And, voila! That was the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.
Hote Hote Pyaar Ho Gaya
We first met each other in Pittsburgh, USA and discovered that we both had many common interests. His easy-going and fun personality is what captivated me instantly. Despite the initial uneasiness on the call, I was surprised at how the tables had turned, and I found myself falling for him. I thank my stars for finding a guy who is so attentive, soft-spoken, understands me so well, and goes that extra mile to make me happy. I couldn’t get any luckier than this.

Magnificence And Opulence At It’s Best
Our wedding was a grand affair that exuded royal vibes with everything being opulent and majestic. From the spectacular venue adorned with scintillating chandeliers where I posed as a joyous bride, to the beautiful décor of multi-coloured flowers, my bridal lehenga, which was no less than a masterpiece that I couldn’t help but flaunt, and my stunning temple bridal jewellery—everything was oozing with sophistication and glamour. All these things collectively made my wedding day a heavenly experience.


The Ultimate Moment
My wedding day was an unforgettable affair that will be cherished forever. With each step down the aisle towards my beloved, it felt as if I was reaching the peak of the most meaningful journey in my life. I still can’t get over the magical moment when we exchanged vows in such a surreal environment, surrounded by the warmth of our families. The ceremonies took place in a lively atmosphere, weaving threads of never-ending support and happiness, forming a beautiful union that will be treasured beyond words.
The Mesmerising Ensemble
KALKI’s stupendous collection of traditional Indian bridal wear left me speechless. I wore an onion pink heavily embroidered organza bridal lehenga which made me feel on top of the world. The dazzling embroidery on the lehenga set was a fusion of machine embroidery and intricate handwork that included cut dana work and enchanting 3D flowers which made the bridal outfit very alluring. The velvet blouse and the two dupattas gave the entire outfit a very appealing look. My look was enhanced by a stack of temple jewellery kadas, hathphool, necklace set, maang tikka, and matha patti which looked very regal. The natural make-up gave a very elegant look and was appreciated by all. Yash too looked fantastic in a light beige heavily embroidered sherwani along with a turban. The multilayered necklace and kalgi gave an edgy look to the groom’s attire. The compliments showered on us just wouldn’t stop, keeping us smiling from ear to ear on our D-day.
