Every couple we meet brings something special to the table, and Divya and Dipen's wedding was no exception. This marked our first “Nepalese Wedding,” and it was a beautiful celebration of rich culture and tradition.

Nepalese weddings closely resemble Indian weddings, full of vibrant customs and meaningful rituals. On their special day, Divya wore a stunning red saree, a color symbolizing luck, purity, love, and fertility. Red also stands for passion, power, and strength.

Mandap Ceremony: The heart of the wedding took place under a beautifully adorned canopy known as the mandap. Divya and Dipen sat together while the priest led them through religious rituals and chanted sacred mantras. As they exchanged garlands, it signified their mutual acceptance and respect for one another, a moment full of warmth and love.

Nepali Wedding Receiving Line: After the ceremony, Divya and Dipen, along with the groom’s immediate family, formed a receiving line. This is where the tradition of exchanging khata—a symbolic scarf representing purity, good luck, compassion, and sincerity—came into play. Guests brought gifts, flowers, and khatas, draping them over the couple in a heartfelt gesture. Many khatas even had mantras printed on them, believed to bring good fortune to the wearer. As Suraj and I found ourselves buried in these scarves, it truly felt like our marriage had been blessed a hundred times over.
