Dia Mirza tied the knot with Vaibhav Rekhi on February 15, and it was an intimate wedding ceremony with just their families and close friends in attendance. Pictures from the wedding have surfaced, and they are absolutely dreamlike! The floral decoration was minimal yet gorgeous, and now Dia has revealed that they organized a completely sustainable ceremony without plastics. She also said that they chose to forgo the traditional rituals such as Kanyadaan and Bidaai since ‘change begins with choice’.
Sharing a snap from their wedding, Dia Mirza, in her caption, wrote about the sustainable ceremony, and having a woman priest solemnize the wedding. “The garden where I have spent every morning for the past 19 years was an absolutely magical setting and the most intimate and perfect space for our simple and soulful ceremony! We are so proud to have been able to organise a completely sustainable ceremony without plastics or any waste. The materials used for the minimal decor we went for were completely biodegradable and natural,” wrote Dia.
She further wrote that the highest point for them was that the wedding ceremony was conducted by a woman priest, and Dia had herself never seen a woman performing a wedding ceremony until her childhood friend Ananya’s wedding. She wrote that her friend Ananya’s gift to them was to being Sheela Atta, her aunt, to perform the ceremony. “As Charles Bukowski said, "there is no lie in their fire." So what can be more uplifting and empowering than to see the sacred fire within a woman's heart and soul taking centre stage at a wedding? I am still overwhelmed by the magic of this one moment,” wrote Dia.
Concluding the note, Dia added that she and Vaibhav Rekhi said NO to Kanyadaan and Bidaai. “Also, we said NO to ‘Kanyadaan’ and ‘Bidaai’ change begins with choice doesn’t it? #GenerationEquality #SunsetkeDiVaNe #ThankYouPreeta,” wrote Dia.
