Payal Rohatgi and Sangram Singh have set July 9 as the date for their wedding. The couple has been traveling around NCR and Ahmedabad to finalize their wedding venue.
Sangram and Payal who fall in love during their stint in a reality show, have been together for 12 years. The couple recently announced their wedding date.
During a recent interview, the couple talked about it and shared, “We wanted to do a destination wedding in Rajasthan or Uttarakhand, but then we thought that it would be very difficult for our parents, who are very old now, to travel so much for the wedding. So, we thought that NCR would be the most convenient location for our families, and therefore we are looking at venues here. We traveled across NCR for two days looking at different venues and really liked a few, and we will finalize it in a day or two. If by any remote chance, things don’t work out in NCR in the next few days, then we will have the wedding in Ahmedabad, where Payal’s family is based. Also, there will be a small celebration in my village in Haryana. People there have been waiting for my marriage as much as my parents (laughs)!” said Sangram.
Payal Rohatgi also added to the conversation and shared that they have decided to have an intimate, traditional wedding, followed by a reception in Delhi and Mumbai for their friends. “We are certain that the wedding will just be attended by our families and a few very close friends. We are planning to host a reception in Delhi and Mumbai a few days later for our friends. Sangram initially wanted to have a court marriage or a temple wedding and surprise our families, but I wanted a traditional wedding with all the reeti- rivaaz in the presence of our families. I think every woman wants to make her wedding day special and memorable in every way possible, and look her best. So, I want all traditions and rituals to be followed. I want to look pretty as it’s going to be a life-long memory. I want to wear a lovely red outfit as I love bright colours and red is perfect for me. It will be a three-day celebration, and the wedding rituals will take place during the day on July 9,” she added.
Sangram also shared that most people in his village, get married by 22-24. “I thought this was the right time. My mother has been waiting for this day for years. My mother started looking for brides as soon as I started working. Every Sunday, there would be a prospective bride’s family sitting at home. My mother would make excuses to make me come home early from work. Actually, most people in our village get married when they turn 22-24. Also, this time it was a spontaneous decision to get married. Payal was a part of a reality show, where I saw that her co-contestants would often tease her with my name and she even cried. I didn’t like that, and we have been together for years now, so I thought that let’s get married. I wanted July 21 as our wedding date as that’s also my birthday, but my mother said that there is no mahurat for weddings after July 9, so I had to agree on that.”
