It’s been a week since the Virushka wedding in Italy and it still does not cease to capture our imagination. The newlyweds recently posted their first honeymoon picture and the fans got into a tizzy when they realised that the couple is in the official home of Santa Claus - the Arctic Circle - Finland.
Finnish media reported from Lapland that Virat and Anushka's honeymoon in Rovaniemi was organised by the Luxury Action company, which specialises in private and luxury travel, tailor-made experiences in the Arctic and Nordic regions.
Devika Narain, the wedding planner shined a lot on what went into the wedding. She divulged some information on the return gifts and said that an anthology of Rumi’s poems were given to the guests.
“Anushka and Virat are extremely spiritual people, I don’t know how many people know this about them. She wanted everything to be about growth and prosperity, so the whole wedding was in fact inspired by the idea of an overgrown garden. They are big fans of Rumi and his poetry, so an anthology of his poems was given as a take back present for all the guests,”Devika Narain
She event went on to elaborate on how invested Anushka was in every decision about the wedding and that she was a typical bride to her surprise.
“Anushka is a typical bride and I did not expect that. She had reference photos, she was incredibly invested in every single decision and detail. All of this was her idea and we were all just people who mapped it out for her. From the way the venue was chosen, it was this big Tuscan villa. The flow of the functions was like a typical Indian wedding. We had a welcome lunch, a sangeet and engagement on the first day. The second day was a bright colourful mehendi and that night was a typical bonfire night. It rained out, so we were all huddled next to a giant campfire, there was karaoke, everyone was singing. The third day was the grand finale.”Devika Narain
As if all these revelations were not enough, more Virushka post-wedding photos have emerged on Instagram.
