A magnificiet wedding dream or feeling butterflies in the stomach, we are truly out of
words to describe the pure bliss we experienced at Anish and Akshita’s cross-cultural
Jammu wedding celebrations. A bride as vibrant and zestful as a butterfly that is just
out of its cocoon and a groom as joyful and gentle as the ray of sun on a moody
Monday morning, we realised how magical it is to have finally united with your
soulmate after years of long waits.

‘Four A Lords Resorts’ was just perfect to kickstart their marvelous Haldi bash. The
couple slayed in their ‘Asiana Couture’ attires paired with the festive glam from
MUA Sana Chouhan (bride) and Geetanjali Salon (groom) who curated the entire
wedding glam lookbook. Anish’s ‘Manyavar’ attire for the Mehendi rituals added a
beautiful touch to their ethnic Mehendi portraits. Akshita’s Mehendi look was curated
from ‘The Laalzari’, Noida, all set to tint her hands with the good old bridal mehendi
patterns. The cozy Jammu weather always pumped us just like a ‘pick me up’ remedy
from the loving roots of nature. The couple chose to celebrate their cross-cultural
Jammu wedding in both Kerala style as well as Jammu style.

The ethereal Kerala wedding palette is composed of ethnic Kerala fits from ‘Kalyan
Silks’ and ‘Maheshwari Silk’s in Kerala. The pure joy of documenting their Kerala
wedding in the Jammu sun was an extraordinary experience. Be it the pooja essentials
or the holy chants, we felt like we have been granted the access to visualize the most
marvelous cross-cultural Jammu wedding in the lush green pockets of North India.
For the Jammu wedding, Akshita’s wedding trousseau paired with Anish’s elegant
lookbook gave the feel of a royal palace wedding. Her Maharani red lehenga crafted
by ‘Kamal Bahi Saree Sangam’ is inspired by the legendary designs of Sabyasachi
Mukherjee. Anish’s dashing look is curated from ‘Samyakk Clothing’.
The party swag, the serene Mandapa visuals, the adorable candid moments, our hearts are full with the
breathtaking visuals from this cross-cultural Jammu wedding!

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. – Emily Bronte

Preethi's father abandoned her family when she was 12. Her mother was really ambitious to pursue a career in medicine and Preethi's father had agreed to it before their marriage. Later, he refused to fulfill his promise. Preeth's father used to physically abuse her mother a lot and due to his abusive behavior, her mother lost 50 percent of eyesight in one of her eyes.

Preethi's mother had to undergo a very intense and traumatic phase due to the fear of losing Preethi to her father. In 10 years' time, her mother realized that there will come a time where she has to take care of little Preethi all on her own. Hence she shifted to Russia for education with Preethi being taken care of by her Mama-Mami. Her mother made sure to visit Preethi once in 3 months.

In the meantime, Preethi's father cheated on her mother by claiming her savings. Once Preethi's mother found out about the matter, she gave up her education in Russia and came back to Preethi. But before she flew back, Preethi's father had already set his journey to Hyderabad and that was the last time Preethi saw her father.

Preethy felt immensely guilty for the difficulties faced by her mother. Her mother soon found a job in a well-reputed firm and she committed to over-time works. Preethi would be already asleep by the time her mother reached home after work. This was Preethi's life for many years. Upon knowing her mother's life, Preethi knew very well about what to find in her partner, subconsciously. The very first thing Preethi noticed in Aben was his dissimilarities with Preethi's father; Aben is extremely honest and open-hearted. Preethi's mother loved Aben when she met him and in 2017, Preethi and Aben decided to get married.

Aben's family was reserved about the proceedings, with Aben being a Christian and Preethi being a Tamil Brahmin. Preethi's mother traveled to Kerala for convincing Aben's parents. But she couldn't get them convinced and she assured Preethi that if Preethi and Aben are happy, she will get them married. In a nutshell, Preethi's mother decided to make use of all her savings to get her daughter married to Aben. Eventually, Aben's family came on good terms.

During the wedding planning, Preethi found out that the 'Kanyadaan' ceremony performed in Tamil weddings is done with the bride being seated on her father's lap. A relative made a suggestion about Preethi being seating on her mother's lap for Kanyadaan. Preethi felt the same because all her life, her mother has been providing her both paternal and maternal care, strength, and love.

Although 5 priests rejected their idea and they argued that it is not right for their culture, Preeti was determined. Within a few weeks, they found a priest who agreed to their idea. While the Kanyadaan was being performed, Preethi and her mother glanced at each other, bursting into tears. Preethi's mother hugged her and ruffled her hair. It was their beautiful moment. It was the least Preethi could do for her mother for what her mother has gone through, giving Preethi the best life. Preethi quotes her mother as a survivor, a warrior, and a protector.
