Love in the time of a Pandemic

Love in the time of a Pandemic

They say that when you know, you know; and so you don’t want to wait for anything, not even a global pandemic to be with the one. Though the concept of a “Big Fat Wedding” runs in our veins, at the end of the day, all we want is to sit by the one we love and share our mutual frustration about COVID – 19. We cannot wait longer to get married. So, a lockdown wedding? Hell yeah!

Tarika and Vinay came into the picture on 10th May 2020 when they contacted The Tamarind Tree regarding their wedding. With the world being confused about how to go forward or what to do, it felt nice to meet the family who wanted to take the bold step of a lockdown wedding. Once the guidelines had been issued from the Government, the property had taken measures and adhered to the rules set to live life, COVID style. So, when they decided to book the property, plan, and conduct the wedding in only a week’s time, The Tamarind Tree was prepped and ready for the celebration.

 

Given the gravity of the situation, maintaining a hygienic property at all times was of utmost importance. Safety of the family, the wedding guests, the vendors involved and our staff took precedence over other matters. But what’s a wedding without some pomp and show? Team of The Tamarind Tree managed to successfully plan and execute Tarika and Vinay’s wedding in a record-breaking time frame of one week. Basic necessities such as a sanitizer tunnel at the entrance and a thermal temperature check of each person walking into the property were taken care of. After finishing a small Varapooja by the temple, the couple had the luxury of the evening to themselves, and utilized the beautiful property in the perfect Bangalore weather and did a lavish shoot, entirely covered by The Wedding Fellas.

Since the guest list was limited, the couple could indulge in providing a personalized experience to each person, and this was clearly seen as their guests dined like royalty. The main ceremony was conducted at the Bandstand in the early hours of the morning. Almost two months after the lockdown began, the property was adorned with beautiful colors and happiness floating in the air. The team came about to understand that the crisis is here to stay, at least for a while, and learning to embrace the difficulties it brings will help us overcome it more easily and live a more peaceful life. Hence, we’re prepared to play a part in uniting couples who are eager to celebrate their union. We fully support the cause of – Love in the time of a Pandemic. Do you?
