Dontha & Rachana's story
In a quaint coffee shop nestled in the heart of the city, two families came together with excitement and a touch of apprehension. The families had arranged a meeting for me and Rachana. Nervous butterflies danced in our stomachs as we sat across from each other, exchanging polite smiles and casual conversation. Rachana's eyes sparkled with curiosity as I shared my passion for travel and photography, while i found myself drawn to Aanya's warmth and her love for classic literature.

The "Oonjal" ceremony features the couple on a swing, symbolizing the rhythm of life. Sumptuous feasts of authentic South Indian cuisine delight guests, with dosas, idlis, and curries. The "Arundhati Nakshatram" ritual showcases the North Star as a symbol of eternal love. The wedding concludes with the "Saptapadi," where the couple takes seven vows around the sacred fire.
