Planning to get hitched is no easy feat, but for brand strategist Divya Khandelwal and software engineer Aman Kapurâs larger-than-life nuptials with 1500 guests, wedding planning was bound to go to the next level. Part of the mayhem of a big fat Indian wedding is to have certain grounds to agree on. For the Jaipur-based couple, this was the overall ethos of the celebrationâwhich was to make the event about their heritage and roots, and the manifestation of memories in a truly sustainable fashion. Devika Narain, the luxury wedding designer behind the affair, says, âOne of the trademarks of the modern Indian wedding is that theyâre becoming very personalâa reflection of who they are. Itâs almost as though each wedding has a personality of its own. Normally people walk in and say âThis is what weâd like our wedding to be. They walked in and said, âThis is what we do. Now what can you do with this?ââ

NEW DELHI - The wedding that Liza Maria had carefully planned was not one but two ceremonies: one at a church and one in a Sikh temple, a nod to her interfaith love story. The revelries would span days. There would be elaborate choreographed dances, music recitals - and 300 guests.
Instead, Maria got married on Dec. 2 in a small and intimate ceremony at a Sikh temple with 25 people in attendance. As she walked around the sanctum in a shimmering pink Indian wedding dress, dozens of relatives - from the United States to Australia - watched on Zoom. Everyone present wore masks that they slipped off for photos. There were few hugs and lots of fist bumps.
