Dive into Shruti & Moneal’s vibrant Cancun celebration, now live on the Platinum Guide Blog!
How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met on Dil Mil during the pandemic while he was completing his MHA program in Chicago and I was in medical school in Virginia. We were long-distance for 2 years until he moved to Charleston, SC, for work, and I matched there a year later for residency! I knew he was the one even before we met in real life, from the endless FaceTime calls we had for months. Meeting in real life just confirmed that he was the one.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We went on vacation to South Africa after I graduated from medical school. He took me to the most beautiful location in Cape Town, “The Rock,” and proposed there.
Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
I had a wedding planner, Chhaya Patel, and she did an amazing job making sure we got everything done in time. I had no time to plan our wedding since I am in my second year of residency, but having her as our planner made all of my stress go away. We had our wedding at Moon Palace Cancun, and overall it was a good experience. I LOVED my hair and makeup artists, David and Dayana, with stylingtrio; I would recommend them to everyone.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I went to India to get all of my outfits, and was open-minded regarding color. I didn't really have a specific style in mind. I ended up trying on over 50 different wedding lenghas of all colors. But the one I ended up picking was the one that my dad actually picked out from day 1, and I ended up liking that one the best as well.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Having it at a resort, we got to hang out with everyone for the whole week. Whether it was chilling by the pool, playing beach volleyball, or getting coffee/food between events.
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Dancing with everyone during our reception. We could tell that every guest was genuinely enjoying their time, not only during our reception, but during the entire wedding week, which meant a lot to me and Moneal.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Planning a wedding is a lot of work and can be stressful, but once you are at your wedding, just enjoy. Do not focus on or think about what is wrong; no one else is going to notice. Just have fun and be in the moment, because it will go by so fast.
Vibrant looks, heartfelt vows, and major dance floor energy—Shruti & Moneal had it all!
