Commenting on the occasion, Asees Kaur said: “Life has come to a beautiful full circle for me this year. Who knew that studio sessions around a heartbreak song would eventually lead to one of the most beautiful love stories of my life. The entire credit for the planning and preparation of our wedding goes to my sister Deedar since Goldie and I have been very occupied with our professional commitments. Post the wedding, we will be travelling to Amritsar to pay our respects at the Golden Temple.”
She further mentioned: “We will go on our honeymoon post my show in London next month. Not only is this my debut show at a massive arena in the UK but it’s also my first live show after my wedding which makes it even more special for me. I’ll be debuting my Sufi set and also paying a homage to Sidhu Moosewala. Exciting times ahead!”
The wedding celebrations are expected to be an intimate affair with a selective guestlist comprising the couple’s close family and friends from Guwahati and Panipat. The three-day festivities begin today with functions such as mehendi, sangeet, ring ceremony, anand karaj and family lunch.
