Arun & Tejal's story
Our Love Story Every love story is unique, and ours is a beautiful blend of fate and family. It all began when we connected on a matchmaking app—two strangers brought together by destiny. What started as casual conversations soon turned into something much deeper, and before we knew it, our bond had grown strong and undeniable. But what made our journey even more special was the love and support of our families. After getting to know each other, our families saw the connection we shared and helped us take the next step in our journey. Their blessing and encouragement turned our love into a lifelong commitment. Join Us in Our Celebration! As we embark on this new chapter, we would be honored to have you celebrate with us. Your presence will make our wedding even more meaningful, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. 3/3/2025 Save the Date & Celebrate With Us! Tejal and arun

Haldi
In South Indian weddings, the Haldi ceremony (called Nalugu in Telugu and Manjal Neerattu Vizha in Tamil) is a joyful and sacred ritual. A turmeric paste is applied to the bride and groom by family members to cleanse, purify, and bless them for a prosperous married life. This vibrant ceremony is filled with music, laughter, and love, as elders shower their blessings while preparing the couple for their wedding day.
Sangeet
Though not traditionally South Indian, the Sangeet ceremony has become a fun-filled pre-wedding event, bringing both families together for a night of music, dance, and celebration. It is a lively occasion where loved ones perform, sing, and create unforgettable memories before the big day! All our family choices to dance and have competition between bride's family and groom's side
