Besides swapping plans of a lavish wedding with a simple one, Delhi’s Bagdiya family decided to make the last family wedding of this generation count by giving reception lunch to over 700 residing at Ujjain’s Sewadham Ashram.

Delhi boy Saharsh Bagdiya who found the love of his life in Jelly Ann Narciso, who hails from Philippines amidst the pandemic, decided not to waste time any further and tied knot in Toronto’s Brampton in a simple Hindu ceremony.

The wedding was attended virtually by parents of groom from Delhi, groom's grandmother from Ujjain and relatives from different parts of the country. The wedding also had virtual presence of bride's family from Philippines.

Initially, the family had planned to throw a lavish wedding followed by a grand reception for 700 relatives and family friends from across the country in Delhi, grandmother of Saharsh, Janaki Devi Bagdiya who lives in Ujjain told TOI.

"Without breaking the Covid-19 protocol, we gave reception to over 700 as previously planned. We wanted a lavish wedding as after Saharsh's wedding, the next wedding will take place only after over two decades," she added.

Owing to the scathing second wave of Covid-19, the plans were getting delayed. However, taking a U- turn from the plans, Saharsh who has been working in Toronto along with his higher studies shared his desire of a simple wedding to which the elders of the family quickly agreed. After seeking permission from the government, the newlyweds got married in wee hours as per the Braham muhurt (auspicious timing) at Brampton's Hindu Sabha Temple in a ceremony which encompassed hawan, poojan and other ceremonies which were completed in an hour.

Soon after marriage, Narciso who is a nurse and has been rendering her duties for Covid-19 vaccination drive resumed her duty.
