Ajay & Jinali's story
We're thrilled to invite you to celebrate a love story that's been years in the making! Our paths first crossed while we were both diligently pursuing our Chartered Accountancy qualifications. Little did we know that amidst the challenging exams and long study hours, we were also building the foundations of a lifelong partnership.
Our friendship was the cornerstone – a bond built on mutual respect, endless conversations, and a shared sense of humor (often needed during those CA days!). We've gone from study partners to partners in crime, and now, we're so excited to become partners for life and start our own family.
We truly believe that the best love stories are built on the strongest friendships, and ours is a testament to that. We would be incredibly honored if you would join us in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, as we embark on this wonderful new adventure together. Your presence and blessings will make our special day even more memorable.

Ganesh Sthapna
The Ganesh Sthapna (or Matli) is a vital Gujarati pre-wedding ritual held at both homes. An idol of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, is installed a few days before the wedding. Families pray and a priest conducts a puja, offering flowers, sweets (like modak), coconut, and durva grass. Mantras are chanted and an aarti is performed. This ceremony seeks Lord Ganesha's blessings for a smooth, obstacle-free wedding and a prosperous married life, marking an auspicious start to the festivities.
Haldi
The Haldi ceremony, known as Pithi in Gujarati weddings, is a joyful pre-wedding ritual. A paste of turmeric (haldi), sandalwood, rosewater, and other auspicious ingredients is applied to the bride and groom by family and friends at their respective homes. This is done to purify and beautify the couple, giving their skin a healthy glow before the wedding. It also symbolizes blessings, prosperity, and is believed to ward off evil spirits, preparing them for their new life together with a sense of fun and togetherness.
Sangeet- Musical night
Sangeet, meaning "music" in Sanskrit, is a pre-wedding celebration in Indian culture filled with music, dance, and joy. It brings together both families for a night of entertainment, bonding, and celebration. Guests perform choreographed dances, sing songs, and enjoy music that celebrates the couple's love story. It’s a vibrant, fun-filled evening with lots of laughter, food, and festive spirit, often featuring traditional and Bollywood music. The Sangeet sets the tone for the wedding festivities, blending tradition with modern celebration.
