Reet & Harry met through mutual friends in 2021, and after three attempts to get married in the throes of lockdowns, they finally were able to tie the knot here in Shepparton.
Both Reet & Harry belong to Sikh culture and speak Punjabi, and they required a location which had a Gurudwara, a holy place to perform religious ceremony, to accommodate their wedding. After trying their luck in Melbourne and Geelong, with both those ceremonies cancelled mere hours beforehand, they finally tied the knot.
Reet did her own makeup, and bought a designer dress (bridal lehnga) from a celebrity designer in Pakistan which unfortunately, she wasn’t able to wear as restrictions dictated they have a small wedding with 10 guests. Reet instead chose a salwar suit for her wedding as lehnga is something you normally wear in bigger gatherings, but rest assured, they will have a big reception in India one day.
“We laugh about it now because the most important thing for us is being together and our mutual commitment to spending our life together and embarking on a new journey. Big or small wedding, wasn’t a big deal,” said Harry.
“We feel everything didn’t really go as per our plans, but rather the plan destiny chose for us. Shepparton will always have a special place in our hearts as we shared the very important moments of our life creating beautiful memories, that we will cherish forever.” @ Lingy’s Photography
