What did the couple say about their wedding plans?
In the latter half of September this year, Ali and Richa took to Instagram and issued a joint statement via an audio recording speaking about how they ¡®formalised their union¡¯ in 2020 but had to wait to celebrate it because of the pandemic.
The note began with Richa saying, ¡°Two years ago we formalised our union and just then the pandemic hit us all,¡± before Ali added, ¡°Like the rest of the nation, we too were struck by personal tragedies one after the other.¡± They then said, ¡°And now, as we all enjoy this window of respite, we are finally celebrating with our families and friends. We are so so very touched and blessed by the love and blessings coming our way.¡±
Regarding these celebrations, the official statement from their spokesperson read,
¡°They wanted to celebrate both their Punjabi and Lakhnavi culture. The details of their celebrations were curated to thoughtfully reflect their persona and their heritage. The clothes too were designed with special touches being added through heirloom jewellery and custom made trousseau including a saree custom made to reflect their love story.¡±

In their Mumbai reception held yesterday, Richa slipped into a unique look for a bride in a maximalist saree lehenga where Ali Fazal complemented her in a structured long coat, pants and shirt set.
