In Spring 2012, Romit met his future wife in Chicago through mutual friends, where they were both at college. He got her number to ask her to join him for a game of squash, although they never actually played it! They got to know each other that Spring and Summer and fell in love. Their first date was at Signature Room, which is situated on the 95th floor of the Hancock Tower, with the most romantic views of Chicago city.

The Wedding Planning…
The Venues…
The couple chose to have their wedding ceremony in Hotel Sheraton Grand, in Pune. This luxury hotel takes care of everything, so Romit and Gayatri could relax knowing that their special day was in good hands. With space for up to 2000 guests and 177 guest rooms, a wedding here can certainly be a ‘grand’ affair! They have in-house florists who are experts in adorning the Hotel’s event spaces with beautiful flowers, and also provide their own, award-winning chefs who can tailor the menus according to each couple’s tastes.
For their reception, the couple chose The Lalit, in Mumbai. It was the perfect venue – with an ultra-modern feel. The Lalit Mumbai has a Majestic Ballroom and eight smaller venues, along with the landscaped Lalit Plaza for outdoor events. They also have a team of professional event planners, who could aid Romit and Gayatri with everything from the customized menus to the décor and audio-visual technology.
The Wedding Outfits…
Gayatri looked dazzling in all of her wedding functions, in a variety of bright colours and beautifully embroidered sarees from various places. One saree was Chantilly Lace all the way from Singapore, and another was banarasi silk from Pallod Creations, in Pune. The wedding saree was an exquisite 9-yard Paithani from Peshwai, also in Pune. Guyatri’s wedding lehenga was from Delhi, and the lovely deep burgundy reception dress came from Izzumi Mehta, a couture designer in Mumbai.
With beautiful make up by Amrit Kaur and a stunning collection of jewellery collected as family hierlooms over the years, no-one could take their eyes off Gayatri! Her lucky husband-to-be and family wore sherwanis from Kora in Mumbai, and Romit’s reception suit was an elegant Hugo Boss number.
