About the hosts
Karan & Rutuja's story
We are Karan and Rutuja. Our love story started in 2020 when we first met in Lonavala. We began talking, and regular calls slowly turned into friendship and love. Since then, we have shared many happy moments together. Travelling is a big part of our relationship. We love bike rides and exploring Pune, Mumbai, Lonavala, Satara, Kolhapur and beautiful natural places. We especially enjoy the monsoon, greenery, mountains and trekking. It took us two to four years to convince our families about our love marriage, but we stayed together and never gave up. I am a pharmacist, and Rutuja has always been my best friend and travel partner. Now, after six years together, our families are happy and we are getting married on 5 September 2026. We warmly invite you to experience our Indian wedding, meet our families, enjoy our traditions, food and celebrations, and share this special day with us. We would love to make beautiful memories together!

Marriage
Our wedding day will be a joyful celebration of love, family and Indian traditions. We will start around 11:30 AM with music, followed by a warm welcome for our guests, relatives and friends. Then we will have Vardava, where we visit a nearby temple to take blessings from God before the wedding. We will go there by horse or car and return for the main ceremony. Guests can enjoy traditional rituals like Ganesh Puja, the bride and groom’s entry, Antarpat, Mangalashtak, exchange of garlands, Akshata (rice blessings), tying of the Mangalsutra and Saptapadi (seven sacred steps). There will be music, family celebrations, photographs and lots of happy moments. After the ceremony, everyone is invited to enjoy a traditional Indian dinner with our family and friends. Come, enjoy the rituals, dance, take photographs and experience the warmth and happiness of a real Indian wedding with us! ❤️🇮🇳
