The Families Arrive Through Music

— Kanav
"Before their marriage began, they saw challenges with the weather. They looked at it with a great smile and really enjoyed the moment."
— Mr. Mukund

Reception · Day 2
The Siblings
Ananya Mukund
Sister of the Bride
"Aditi was pretty much the blueprint. I was six years old banging on a 14-year-old Aditi's bedroom door."
"I hope you enjoy growing old with her as much as I enjoy growing up with her."
Samir Jain
Brother of the Groom
"Hi, I'm Samir. I am number two. You know what they say about being number one in an Indian family?"
"Kind of got married?"
Pari Jain
Sister of the Groom
"You always come back to the root principle that we're siblings, and we can always be there for each other."
The Parents
Mr. Mukund
Father of the Bride
"Aditi says yes first, then trains for three months to make it real."
"Empathy and consideration and concern for others — that's what I noticed about Kanav."
Seema Jain
Mother of the Groom
"I always wanted four children. I only had three. But I gained a daughter today."
"Jains are Baniyas. We only gain, we don't lose."
"I'm only getting older. You better go for it now."
Karun Jain
Father of the Groom
"We really are thankful that you're bringing smiles on Kanav's face. That's very important. That's very, very important."
"Rupa is going to be my youngest sister from here on."
Mrs. Mukund
Mother of the Bride
"She goes with the flow. She tries to be a buffer in stressful situations."
The Couple
Aditi Jain
The Bride
"I did it. I'm married. Please get a massage, maybe take a two-day nap."
Kanav Jain
The Groom
"Friends from school, some from the internet, some from dance floors — you've made this weekend what it is."
"Not that it'll mean anything to him, but we can't wait to tell Apollo that we — his parents — are officially married."
