'It was a magical morning. Riding high on emotions and my heart pounding coz Pulkit and I weren't allowed to meet or see each other before the pheras. While we did things our way, a few things were still old school :)

'I wish he was a part of this moment too, but sigh, I loved the look on his face the first time he saw these pictures and was bowled over,' she adds.

'Laal chooda and traditional kaleeras were a non negotiable too. The number of people who tried to convince me otherwise was insane. But I'm so glad I stuck to what I wanted to do and didn't look back,' she writes.
