Maharani Ashley the Raja of her dreams, Sabeer, are both getting ready to tie the knot at their Winnipeg wedding, where the photo phenoms from Banga Studios are busy documenting all of their most breathtaking moments. Our Indian bride was primped and primed with the help of hair and makeup artists from Makeup Expressions by Rimpal and Vanhoft Hair, and is looking sensational in her red and navy open-shirt bridal lengha. Her hubby-to-be is dashing in his cream colored ceremony ensemble, and their entire wedding party is dressed to the nines in their traditional bridesmaids' salwar kameez and sherwanis. In just a bit, we'll be getting an unforgettable exclusive look into our Ashley and Sabeer's Sikh wedding ceremony, so make sure to stick around. In the meantime, take a peek inside the complete gallery for more getting ready moments and glimpse at what's still to come!

Maharani Ashley, on Raja Sabeer's memorable proposal:

"I was post-exam, and exhausted. I just wanted to chill out. We spent the night in, eating take-out, and watching bad movies on TV. Sabeer was acting a little weird that night, but I didn't think much of it. Then he ran upstairs suddenly, and came down by small box. He sat me down, and gave me a beautiful speech about his love for me. And then he asked to marry me! Of course I said yes, and it was the most perfect night of my life."

On shopping for her dream wedding lengha:

"I got a lot of help from my mum, who is the first person I go to when I need fashion advice. I wanted to make sure I found the right red, that was the most important part for me. I tried on a bunch of stuff, which is harder work than most think! I was very happy with my eventual wedding outfit, I loved having a contrast lengha bottom, made it interesting!"

The main event is up next, my dears, so sit tight!
