Deepika and Ranveer’s much talked about wedding ceremony is happening today and the couple has some very strict privacy rules laid out for the special attendees. Getting our hands on the reports from the wedding, we can say that it is no less than a fairytale.
Ranveer and Deepika exchanged rings in the presence of family and friends in the picturesque location of Lake Como. Ranveer's public display of affection has always been a hit among his fans. Abiding by his romantic image, the actor decided to go down on his knees to ask for his ladylove's hand.
According to a report in a leading daily, Ranveer got down on his knees asking for Deepika's hand at their engagement ceremony. Ranveer even professed his love for Deepika in a romantic speech which left the bride-to-be emotional. A report in Pinkvilla said quoting a guest, “Shubha Mudgal was performing a thumri when Deepika Padukone got emotional and was in tears. When she broke down, Ranveer, who could understand her emotional state, walked up to her and hugged her tight and consoled his lady love. He ensured she was smiling again with all his crazy love antics.â€
The couple exchanged rings after a Phool Muddi ceremony on November 13. Phool Muddi is a traditional Konkani ceremony in which the bride's father welcomes the bridegroom's parents. Deepika's father Prakash Padukone gave Ranveer a coconut and formally welcomed him to the family. Ranveer and Deepika also had a lavish sangeet ceremony on Tuesday afternoon at Casta Diva, a luxury resort on the east side of Lake Como, in the pretty village of Blevio.
Zoom quoted a source who is attending the wedding, “The evening had two functions lined up—an engagement ceremony and a sit-down dinner. Deepika and Ranveer welcomed the guests personally at the entrance of the Casta Diva resort, which was all lit up. Both flaunted western outfits—while Deepika wore a white dress, Ranveer sported a black creation.â€
Deepika is expected to wear a white-gold saree for her Konkani wedding on 15th. For Anand Karaj, she will wear a traditional lehenga and Ranveer a Sabyasachi Kanjeevaram sherwani.Â
Ranveer Singh is known to have a signature larger-than-life style. Proving the point, his baarat procession is speculated to arrive at the venue in a seaplane. Watch the video here:
On Tuesday, the report added, two more ceremonies were held—mehendi in the morning and sangeet in the evening.
The couple will have a traditional Konkani wedding and a North Indian style Anand Karaj ceremony, reportedly in Sikh tradition, will take place on Thursday, said a report in Mumbai Mirror. The couple is expected to host a private dinner on Thursday evening, before they fly out of Lake Como.
