Ashish Chowdhary has a crystal clear vision of his dream wedding. It definitely isn't the traditional Indian wedding. He says, "I'd definitely not go in for the normal rituals. No pheras and pujas for me. I have always wanted my wedding to be special. I would like to step out of the country and get married in Switzerland or London. It will be at a church. I love the idea of wearing a tuxedo and a white gown for my bride. But with all the guests wanting to join me in Switzerland, I don't think it will be a practical idea."
So the next best option for him would be to downsize his dream wedding. He insists that even after that, it would definitely not be in Mumbai. "If not Swiss then it has to be Goa for a beach wedding and the dress code will be bikinis!" Sure Ashish has wicked ideas when it comes to his wedding prep. When asked who would design his swimming costume (read wedding costume), Ashish has a good laugh and says, "It's not important who designs it. Whoever will be the hottest designer at that time should do it for me. Anna Singh is my rakhi sister and Vikram Phadnis is a good friend, there are other designer friends also... everyone might contribute in some or the other way." And what about the bride's jewellery? He quips, "Luckily my girl friend doesn't like the jewellery. And it is always easy to bribe them and save some money there!" Well, if not the shining jewels, at least lets be assured that we are going to see a lot of designer beach wear during this wedding.
There is another theme that excites Ashish. "I like the Christian theme, the one shown in My best friend's wedding . I would love to have a nice ballroom party and raising a toast." However, no dream wedding is complete without the dream honeymoon! Ashish agrees completely and tells us that it was when he was 18 years old that he decided his honeymoon venue. "I went to South of France and I fell in love with the place. Monaco, Cannes... so many other places. It is beautiful. I would love to go there and then cruise around further."
