It all started on Monday at Itlay’s Lake. One of the most awaited weddings of the year has just done. Details about the wedding are limited due to tight security. Moreover, security doesn’t allow to take pictures but a lot of media have managed to get some details. Many guests have arrived in Italy on Monday to attend this four-day wedding celebrations. Deepika in a white dress and Ranveer in a formal black suit have exchanged rings on Monday evening. This formal engagement was followed by a formal dinner. There were only 40 guests in attendance.
On Tuesday afternoon, a mehndi ceremony has been held in which both ladies and gents led by the groom himself, had henna applied on their palms. Both the functions took place at differnt venues. Ranveer’s ceremony took place at the CastaDiva Resort, whereas, Deepika’s function took place at Villa d’Este, which is about five kilometers away.
In evening, a sangeet event has been held in which Harshdeep Kaur and Shubha mudgal gave their performances. Harshdeep sung tradiotional mehndi songs whereas Shubha sung thumri songs.
Furthermore, bollywood songs were aslo played. According to a report, Ranveer made a dramatic entry in the sangeet event with his song from Gunday, Tune Maari Entriyan playing in the background.
Ranveer enjoyed the mehndi function and danced with all his heart.
Old songs, romantic songs, ghazals and sufi songs were being played. Ranveer also danced on the beats of dhol,” the source said.
According to another source, both the bride and groom donned colour-coordinated Sabyasachi outfits in shades of pink and red, with the designer also present on the occasion.
One of the guests shared that Deepike seems emotional and was sheeding a few tears.
“Shubha Mudgal was performing a thumri when Deepika got emotional and was in tears. When she broke down, Ranveer, who could understand her emotional state, walked up to her and hugged her tight and consoled his lady love. He ensured she was smiling again with all his crazy love antics,” the guest was quoted as saying.
On Wednesday, early in the morning, the couple took the pheras in a traditional South India style with the Konkani ceremony. Tomorrow, they will take the vows again in an Anand Karaj ceremony, in Sikh tradition. The couple’s close bollywood friends like Shahrukh Khan, Farah Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali arrived at the venue at 9 am on November 14.
Security was very tight on both sides with that provided for a meeting of world leaders. At the CastaDiva resort for instance, any and all guests or visitors have to present a special wrist band while security guards cover up the camera lenses on mobile phones with stickers. On the lake itself, numerous security boats patrol just outside the perimeter of the property to deter snooping photographers or gossip hunters.
In fact, the local authorities have warned boat rental companies from renting out boats for anyone from outside town. Attempts by the ANI reporter to rent a powerboat were repeatedly stymied. Rental company owners say they have been asked to make strict inquiries as to the purpose of the renters.
