While the world was occupied with momentous events like Brexit, terror attacks, Trump’s election and the demonetisation drama in 2016, the internet, meanwhile, was agog with the numerous glitzy celebrity weddings.
The Quint celebrates 2016’s attention-grabbing celeb weddings and extends a warm congratulations to all the newly-weds.
Divyanka Tripathi’s Inescapable Wedding
In the beginning, it was painfully difficult to understand why an unknown person kept popping up in my Facebook newsfeed. After braving several onslaughts, I realised how popular Tripathi was among the TV soap opera audience. Here’s a throwback to her inescapable wedding with Vivek Dahiya.
Bipasha Basu and Karan Grover’s Big Bash
While we went on about the daily grind that is our life, Bipasha Basu and Karan Grover were honeymooning at some far away beaches. The actor couple’s wedding – and subsequent exotic honeymoon – was all over social media. Which meant yet another round of Facebook timeline-bombing.
But we couldn’t help feeling happy for the glamorous newly weds. Congratulations on your wedding, guys!
Preity Zinta and her ‘Goodenough’ Husband
Preity Zinta’s wedding garnered tremendous attention, but thankfully, the actor was considerate enough to not bombard the internet with truckloads of pictures. We got a brief glimpse into her wedding with Gene Goodenough, which was enough (pun unintended) and quite appropriate, tbh.
Lisa Haydon’s Quick and Quiet Shaadi
This was one shaadi that managed to make me smile. Lisa Haydon tied the knot with her boyfriend Dino Lalvani in a beautiful beach-y ceremony earlier this year.
Check out the pictures:
The Shaadi that Re-surfaced Urmila Matondkar
Had it not been for her wedding with Mohsin Akhtar, we would have happily forgotten Urmila Matondkar.
Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech’s 3-State Wedding
The penultimate wedding of the year that brought together celebs, politicians and sport stars was a mammoth five-day affair. This one brought back memories of Divyanka Tripathi’s wedding. Needless to say, it was one of the most talked-about and ‘watched’ weddings of the year.
Ishant Sharma and Basketballer Pratima Singh’s wedding
Mr shy Sharma married his long-time girlfriend in Gurugram a few days back, wrapping up an year of glitzy, headline-grabbing celeb weddings.
May the new year bring more weddings and more cheer. But a little less wedding pictures on social media will be much appreciated, though.
