Welcome to Maharani Weddings

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?

Our love story started just like many others in this modern era of dating where we both swiped right. Our paths crossed through an online dating app called Hinge, which we were both introduced to by our friends. It only took a few hours for us to find each other and have nonstop conversations. I knew he was the one after our first date, where I called by best friend and told her he is "the one"

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!

Paraj tricked me into thinking we were going to my birthday dinner. He said we "had" to get on a boat in order to get to the restaurant. As you might already know, I'm very gullible and believed everything he told me. During the boat ride, we stopped in front of the Chicago Skyline to capture some pictures. I was facing the skyline thinking Paraj was taking pictures of me. When I turned around, he was kneeled downed on one knee holding the most beautiful ring and asked me to marry him!

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 feel like the luckiest bride because I didn't have to do much planning myself. My husband took charge of organizing our destination wedding, handling most of the details by coordinating with our planners, vendors, and the resort to ensure everything was perfect. It was incredibly helpful to have both of our inputs in deciding what we wanted for our events. Our planners were especially amazing in finding the best vendors, particularly for my hair and makeup. I couldn't have found such an incredible team in Mexico without their help.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?

I couldn't have found my bridal lengha without the help of my husband and my in-laws. I knew I didn't want the traditional red; I wanted different colors for our beach wedding. My in-laws were incredibly dedicated, treating me like their own daughter as they helped me search for the perfect lengha. They stood by my side, taking me to numerous stores in India until I found the dress I fell in love with. We all said yes to the dress together, making it a day I will cherish forever.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?

Our guests loved our Latin/White party event the night after the wedding. Everyone wore white, and we all danced the night away. This evening was particularly special because my husband surprised us with a party pack. The vendor brought out games and drums, allowing everyone, including us, to join in the fun. It was truly a night to remember, as our guests still fondly recall.

We hope this glimpse into a day filled with beauty and joy inspires your own magical moments.
