Dream proposal
Every girl wishes for a dream proposal, when her partner would get down on his knees and pop the most awaited question. Sejal Acharya was lucky to have had such a moment. Her then-boyfriend-now-husband, Jay Mistry got down on his knees and asked, ‘Will you marry me?’ in a dreamy backdrop of Lake Como, Italy. On March 23, 2018, Sejal had taken to her Instagram and shared the good news and sharing the picture had written, “A new chapter begins... He asked and I said Yes!!! Best surprise ever #engaged #lakecommoproposal #isaidyes #jayandsej.”

On the other hand, Jay had looked dapper in a formal three-piece suit. Sejal announced her engagement by sharing the pictures from the ceremony along with a heartfelt note, which could be read as “Our Indian Engagement.

Grah Shanti Puja
In every Indian household, before any auspicious ceremony begins, it is necessary to hold a puja for the betterment of everything. Similarly, for Sejal and Jay’s wedding, Sejal’s family had organised a ‘Grah Shanti Puja’ before the beginning of the wedding ceremonies. While sharing the pictures from the ceremony, Sejal explained the significance of the puja and wrote, “This Puja is one of the most important ceremonies both Jay and I did before the wedding. It is performed to seek the blessings from the 9 planets, remove all obstacles and bring happiness and prosperity into our lives.” For the occasion, Sejal opted for a green and orange coloured saree with a matching orange-coloured blouse. Keeping everything minimal, Sejal completed her look with an emerald necklace.
Pithi/Haldi Ceremony
The wedding day at any Hindu household begins with the auspicious haldi ceremony, where the bride and groom are applied haldi for glowing skin. Sejal shared adorable pictures from her pithi/haldi ceremony and captioned it as “The Yellow stuff! This ceremony was so much FUN! Yes, I was absolutely covered in yellow stuff that made me look like a character out of the Simpsons! In fact, my family and friends were also covered. The ceremony is full of tradition, with good wishes and blessings from all.” Sejal looked ethereal in a yellow-coloured silk saree and complemented it with a pink-coloured blouse and contrasting green-coloured jewellery.

Getting Ready For The Final Moment
A bride is filled with mixed emotions on the day of her wedding. She gets jitters and butterflies in her stomach while she gets ready for the final moment. Sejal also felt the same emotions and beautifully captioned them while sharing her getting ready pictures. Her caption could be read as “The moment I stepped inside Oshwal Centre at 7am, my emotions were all over the place. It was a rollercoaster of emotions during the entire time I spent getting ready - I was upset, happy and nervous all at the same time. It suddenly dawned on me that my Wedding Day had arrived, and even though Jay and I had been planning this day for 18 months it didn't quite hit me that it was happening until the morning itself. I just wanted time to stop, I wanted to be with my family and friends and didn't want to leave them.”
Bride’s Dream Wedding Outfit/ Sabyasachi Lehenga For Wedding
