    Q: Describe your wedding day. What was your favourite moment?

    Harvin:My favourite moment was waiting for her to come down the aisle and sit next to me. All I wanted to do was to see how beautiful my wife -to-be was on our wedding day.

    Amen:Loving family and friends made this day a very memorable one for me. As I heard that the groom side was here, I got very anxious to see my husband-to-be. I just wanted this day to go by so fast so that I could be a part of his life as soon as I could. 

    Q: Could you tell us about your reception?

    From the decor, dining and dancing, everything went as planned. It was an amazing night with our loved ones, and we had such great fun with our friends and family.

    Amen:On the wedding day, I wore a pink lehenga covered in gold embroidery. For the reception, I wore a blue lehenga which was covered with gold embroidery and with a pop of colour; the dupatta was of hot pink colour.

    Q: Where did you honeymoon?

    We went to Cancún, Mexico.

    Q: What are your goals as a couple?

    We both want to live our married life as best friends. Knowing we both have each other till the end, we can be successful and build on our future.
