We've been waiting to share some news with you. The pandits have spoken, and our wedding dates are finally out! We wanted to take this opportunity to ask you to save the date for the wedding. Here is all the information we think would be helpful for you to plan for this little celebration.
Dates
The wedding is on the 31st of July 2015. The pre-wedding cocktails are on the 30th of July 2015. We would be happy to see you break a leg on the dance floor on the evening of 30th of July 2015 and share your tips for a happy married life (pun intended!) over breakfast on the 1st of August 2015.
Venue
It is no secret that we love Goa, and more than that we love the Park Hyatt Goa. Ajay used to call it his happy place, till Shipra came by and joined in the fun. The venue then, is this happy place for the both of us: The Park Hyatt Goa Resort & Spa.
The Events
Here is the plan. Once you arrive on the morning or the afternoon of the 30th of July 2015, check in to the hotel and join us for lunch. Mehendi will be going on through the day, till about 6 pm, so you could visit for a henna session. Then, take a dip in the pool, or get some me time and a nap, and be ready for a high energy Sangeet evening powered by booze, dance and kebabs 7:30 pm onwards. The next morning, wake up at ease to a hangover, and head to the grounds for a cricket match. Alternatively, grab some breakfast and help the bride with her Haldi, and then the groom! Snooze off the afternoon after lunch, and dance in the Baraat, and then meet us for the Wedding Dinner that evening. The rituals will go on till late in the night, so we first feed you, and then keep an eye on you from the Mandap to see if you doze off or stick around for the wedding rituals!
Accommodation
We are happy to host you at the Park Hyatt Goa for the period of the wedding. Rooms will be blocked for the 30th and 31st of July 2015. Apart from that, if you'd like to arrive ahead or stay longer, we have a specially negotiated rate with the hotel, so write back to us and we would be happy to share the details with you and put you in touch with the hotel.
Travel Plans
Do plan to arrive on the 30th of July 2015 by the afternoon, where we will organise to pick you up from the Dabolim Airport or the Margao/ Vasco Railway Station. Please advise us of your travel plans at the earliest possible time :) Use this link to convey the details of your travels.
