Mohan Murali Sai Krishna & Sai Bhavana's story
Ours is an arranged marriage chosen by our parents—but the story didn’t stay “formal” for long. I’m an IT Recruiter working from my hometown, Gudivada, and he’s a Threat Analyst. Our first conversation happened over a phone call. No dramatic background music, no long buildup—just two strangers talking honestly. We spoke about what we look for in a life partner, how we want to enjoy our future together, living with and taking care of our parents, our goals, kids, and the kind of life we want to build. Simple topics, big meanings. We spoke only twice over the phone… and somewhere in between those calls, something clicked. At one point, he even wondered if he was talking to a child—turns out, it was just my excitement and non-stop talking 😄. Two calls were enough for us to feel comfortable, confident, and sure. We spoke to our parents and said yes to each other. And just like that, here we are—getting married on 25th February. adding this in website.

During the event, rituals like elders bless her with akshinthalu, gifts, bangles and advice, while the atmosphere stays emotional, festive, and intimate. It marks the bride’s symbolic farewell to her unmarried life and is more about traditions, blessings, and family bonding than glamour or show
Pre Reception
In Pre- Reception event held before the wedding to formally introduce the bride and groom as a couple and allow extended family and friends to interact without the pressure of heavy rituals. The couple usually makes a simple stage entry, exchanges smiles (not vows), greets guests, takes photos, and enjoys dinner. There are no strict religious rituals—this event is about comfort, bonding, and easing into the wedding celebrations, giving both families a chance to mingle and celebrate together in a calm, joyful atmosphere before the main wedding.
Wedding
The wedding begins with rituals like Ganapathi pooja and welcoming the groom, followed by the bride’s entry and the main muhurtham where the couple sits at the mandap. Key moments include the exchange of garlands, tying of the mangalsutra (thaali), applying sindoor, exchanging akshinthalu, and blessings from elders while mantras are chanted by the priest. This is followed by rituals symbolizing unity, responsibility, and commitment
