The bride wore Two different Kanchipuram-silk saris over the course of the day, and a gold lengha (skirt and top) outfit for the evening. All were bought in India for a total of £800 The bride says 'Vinod and I met five years ago through mutual friends at a birthday party. When he proposed, three and a half years later, on the balcony of a hotel in Lake Maggiore in Italy, I was so excited I forgot to say yes.'It was important for me to have a traditional Hindu wedding otherwise I wouldn’t have felt properly married. I was accompanied to the manavari [the Hindu altar] in a procession including my parents, bridesmaids, female cousins and girl friends. The most significant part came when Vinod placed the thali [a gold talisman] around my neck and we were pronounced man and wife
