Ahead of the main wedding week, Tiwinkle and Gurkirat celebrated their upcoming nuptials with two different religious ceremonies — a jagrata and a havan. The celebrations with their guests began with the Sagan ceremony. As a nod to the proposal, the couple set sail with their guests on a party yacht from Marina del Rey. The next event to follow was the sangeet. Hosted at the Landmark in Mission Hills, the laid-back evening was filled with “music, dance, and joy,” says the bride.

Like a pink Bollywood fairytale, the mehndi and haldi took place over two days at a large estate in the outskirts of Los Angeles. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a thali lunch from chef Gaurav Anand before the vidaii ceremony, where the bride’s family bid farewell to the couple. “At first, I was all smiles until I saw my brother Suraj,” Tiwinkle recalls. “He was crying, and it made me and my parents emotional. We were all crying and holding each other tight. I looked to see some of the other family members tearing up too. I felt so much love from everyone!”
