Sanya Jain and Arihant Agrawal: A journey sliding into forever

In a world where wedding hashtags are carefully curated and first dances go viral, Sanya Jain and Arihant Agrawal’s love story is the kind that actually lives up to the reel. Born and bred in Dubai but rooted in Jaipur’s pink-hued legacy, their romance unfolded the way most Gen Z love stories begin: with a DM.

“One Instagram message is all it took,” says Sanya. “Arihant slid into my DMs with his signature charm, and thanks to a mutual friend who nudged us along, we finally met. From that first conversation, it just felt… easy. Natural. Like it was always meant to be.”

Fast forward to April 20, 2025, and the couple were exchanging vows in Udaipur, the city of lakes and legends. The venue? The breathtaking Radisson Blu Palace Resort, a fusion of traditional grandeur and contemporary elegance. “The moment we saw it, we just knew,” Sanya says. “The lush greenery, the royal vibe, it felt like the kind of place where eternal stories are written.”

But among all the moments, dancing cousins, emotional pheras, endless selfies, one stands still in Sanya’s memory: “When Arihant applied the sindoor… I can’t even explain it. It was emotional, surreal, and in that instant, everything just felt complete.”

A regal contrast

As for the fashion? Think modern royalty, with just the right amount of tradition. “I never saw myself as a red bride,” Sanya admits. “I wanted something softer, something that felt very me. So I chose a baby pink Sabyasachi lehenga, dreamy and feminine, and styled it with emerald jewels for that regal contrast, Kiara Advani totally inspired that look.” Arihant matched her vibe in a baby pink sherwani by Diwan Saheb, Delhi, known for fusing heritage with modern cuts. “We wanted to honour our roots but still feel like ourselves,” she adds.

And then there was the food. Not a buffet, not a banquet, this was a culinary saga. “We had over 500 dishes,” Sanya reveals. “Guests flew in from all over the world, and we wanted the food to feel like a celebration of India’s rich, soulful flavours. We brought in the best caterers from Jaipur, every bite told a story.” From spicy Rajasthani laal maas to sushi counters and truffle-laced pastas, it was a global feast with desi pride at the heart.

So now that the wedding’s over and real life begins, what does happily ever after look like?

“Honestly? It’s waking up next to your best friend,” says Sanya. “It’s sharing late-night fries, being each other’s biggest cheerleader, and knowing you’ve found your forever person.”

And her golden advice for brides and grooms-to-be? “Don’t stress the little things. Your wedding doesn’t need to be perfect, it needs to be yours. Soak it all in, laugh a lot, eat your favourite food, and trust that love will take care of the rest.”
