Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja have barely been off the trending list for the past couple of weeks. Reason being public to all. After a long “will they-won't they”, they both had been keeping media guessing for months.

Mystery Behind The Wedding

In January, the first few confirmations about Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s wedding conveyed that the lovebirds would be tying the knot in Jodhpur in Rajasthan. It was reported that the event would be a small gathering of only around 20-30 people. The destination was then shifted to Udaipur.

For a while, it was also reported that Sonam was getting hitched in June. There were speculations that she will walk down the aisle in some exotic venue in Switzerland. But the venue was then changed owing to logistics reasons.

Relief flushed when the Kapoor and Ahuja families confirmed the long-awaited speculation on an official level early this week.

"The Kapoor and Ahuja families, take great joy and pride, in announcing the marriage of Sonam and Anand. The wedding will take place on the 8th of May in Mumbai. Since it is an intimate affair, we request you to respect the family's need for privacy. Thank you for all your blessings and love, as we celebrate this special moment in our lives," read the statement.

The place was closely guarded, and the bride was covered with curtains. Media has not let a glance of the bride when she arrived at the venue. The fans of the actress were curious, so they arranged to get a sneak peek earlier via inside photographs and video snippets.

However official photos of the bride in her bridal avatar were released much later. Sonam made her bridal entry with her brothers in typical traditional fashion.

Karan Johar apparently was overexcited too and performed on a song from one of the Sonam Kapoor’s movies Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.

A Bollywood celebrities assemblage including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji, Sonam's colleagues Swara Bhasker and Kareena Kapoor and her best friend Jacqueline Fernandez attended the Anand Karaj ceremony in the morning along with the family members.

Kareena Kapoor, who co-stars with Sonam in upcoming film Veere Di Wedding, accompanied her husband Saif Ali Khan and son Taimur. Kareena's sister Karisma, dressed in a Sabyasachi lehenga, did not bring her kids along.

Aamir Khan came with wife Kiran Rao and son Junaid Khan.

Rani Mukerji, who has been invited to all wedding functions, wore a Sabyasachi lehenga in black, gold and green.

Sonam's cousins Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor came with their father Boney Kapoor. Janhvi wore an embellished pink lehenga with a pastel dupatta while Khushi picked a yellow mirror work outfit - both by Manish Malhotra.

After the wedding, Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja will reportedly shuttle between multiple cities. "Anand owns homes in Delhi and London, and Mumbai is Sonam's base," a source told Mumbai Mirror.

The honeymoon has been deferred for a few months - Sonam is scheduled to attend the Cannes Film Festival later this week and has her new film, Veere Di Wedding, releasing in June.
