(Source: Express photo by Gurmeet Singh) He was born on October 2 and his father decided to name him ‘Gandhi’- Rupinder Gandhi. At 22, he was the sarpanch of his village, a national- level football player, a student at Panjab University Chandigarh and a local ‘youth icon’.

The romantic terrain of rolling vineyards, the 800-year-old plush resort in Tuscany, the Sabyasachi outfits (yes, Manyavar attires were only restricted to those ads), the intimate ceremony with  bhangra  beats - there’s much to be said about the wedding. But now that we are done with the speculations and the cat is out of the bag, let’s take a moment to marvel at that gaze that the couple shared as they stood on the brink of a lifelong companionship.
