They say, love finds you when you least expect it. And Chandni & Kartik’s love story is an ode to the same. The two first met at Chinmaya Mission in London just before Covid, little did they know that they’d be sitting together at a dinner table a couple of months later and chat through the entire evening. Love found them; and the two chose each other as soulmates. Chandni being a Gujarati and Kartik being A Tamilian, their wedding was a unique blend of two cultures in all its glory.
Chandni & Kartik’s Wedding Was A Stunning Union Of Two Cultures And The Pictures Are A Proof:
Chandni & Kartik’s ‘Chit, Chat And Chaat’ – Welcome Event
To break the ice and barriers, Chandni & Kartik had a welcome event just prior to their wedding. They added a quirky spin to it and named it ‘Chit, Chat And Chaat’, thanks to Kartik’s love for chaat food. The theme was informal and Indo-western. Chandni opted for a gorgeous haute pink sharara saree which she styled with a stunning kundan choker set. Kartik on the other hand, opted for a kurta ensemble in refreshing hues of aqua blue and green.
Chandni’s Pithi & Grah Satak Pictures
In Gujarati culture, Pithi is traditionally the haldi ceremony, while the Grah Satak is a pooja that is done to officially embark the wedding ceremonies. These pictures from the pooja and haldi are so full of warmth and love. The bride-to-be Chandni is certainly radiating and how!
Kartik’s Vratham Ceremony Pictures
As per the Tamil traditions, the Vratham ceremony marks the groom entering the next stage or ashram of his life, from Brahmacharya (bachelorhood) to Grihasta (householder).

When it came to their wedding, Chandni and Kartik opted for an outdoor wedding. They opted for a minimalist theme that accentuated their wedding venue more.
Chandni & Kartik’s wedding aimed for a perfect fusion combining elements of a Tamil wedding together with a Gujarati wedding. The lovebirds included Tamilian rituals like had Kaashi Yatra, Malai Matranal and an Oonjal ceremony followed by a mandap wedding as per the Gujarati rituals.
