Day Two: Haldi, Pizza, and Sangeet – A Day of Celebration


On the second day, the morning began with the traditional Haldi ceremony, a cherished pre-wedding ritual in many Indian cultures. During the Haldi ceremony, Simran and Abishek were surrounded by their families as they were “painted” with turmeric paste, a vibrant yellow mixture believed to bring good luck, purification, and beauty to the couple. It’s a joyous and emotional moment that symbolizes the couple’s transition to a new life together, and the energy of the ceremony was infectious, with everyone laughing, dancing, and celebrating.

After the ceremony, guests were treated to an Italian Pizza Party, a playful yet elegant affair that celebrated both cultures. The pizza station was set up with all the traditional toppings, and a gelato cart served refreshing treats to keep everyone cool. This fun and casual event was the perfect way to bring everyone together before the main wedding celebrations began.
