The engagement ceremony of Shubman and Devanshi in Udaipur was an intimate event. The venue, a lavish banquet in the outskirts of the city to keep the prying eyes away.
As guests entered the venue, they were greeted by a mesmerizing sight. The hall was adorned with cascading floral arrangements in hues of blush pink, ivory, and gold, creating an ethereal ambiance that seemed straight out of a fairytale.
At the center of the room stood a magnificent floral arch, adorned with dainty flowers and architectural pieces. The arch served as the focal point of the ceremony. Every detail of the décor was thoughtfully curated to reflect their individual personalities.
The guests were designated tables to enjoy their dinner. Vedant and Purnima Thakur along with Varsha and Shubamn's father stood at the entrance of the palace welcoming the arriving relatives. Mobile phones were restricted in the palace premises due to security reasons.

Devanshi stood in her room, adorned in a resplendent floral lehenga that seemed to bloom around her. The vibrant colors of the fabric complemented her radiant smile, and she couldn't help but twirl in front of the mirror.
Just then, the door burst open, and in came Shahneel and Anaya. Their eyes widened in awe as they took in the sight of Devanshi, their sister, looking every bit the epitome of grace and beauty.
"Dev, Kinni soni lag di hai!" Shahneel exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration. "I can't believe my brother is the luckiest man in the world to have you as his bride."
Devanshi blushed at the compliment, feeling a rush of warmth at Shahneel's words. "Thank you, Di."
Anaya, her eyes shining with excitement, rushed forward to embrace Devanshi. "Didi! You look so preety, I might cry!"
"Chal, tu dusro ko rulane wali ahi roni wali nahi." She returned Anaya's embrace and patted her cheek.
Shahneel's eyes twinkled with mischief as she teased, "So, Devanshi, are you ready to become an official part of our crazy family?"
Devanshi laughed, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Absolutely! Ye to bas formality mai to aapki hi hu."
"Chalo, tumhara saiyya wait kar rahe honge." Shahneel linked her hand with Devanshi and escorted her to the hall.
Shubman, though has seen Devanshi in this ensemble before, had his mouth hung open. Devanshi winked at him making him go smitten
"Hey, Beautiful." He traced her face with his finger.
"Awww." Shahneel and Anaya cooed and left the couple but still kept their eyes on them.
He grabbed her by her waist "Our friends are here let's go meet them."

Aashika , Tarun and Manya gathered around Devanshi and Shubman, their laughter echoing through the room. They got to know what had happened, except that the two had an accidental kiss and rest horrible things. They were told that Devanshi liked shubman and other way around.
Aashika, teased Devanshi playfully. "Well, well, well. I never would've thought that you'd take pehli nazar mai pyaar, literally Dev."
Devanshi chuckled, "Mai toh bas Shubman ki future biography mai apna yogdaan de rahi hu."
Tarun, Aashika's husband, joined in the banter, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Well, if you ever need any advice on how to handle a feisty woman. Aashika ke sath reh kar experience ho gaya hai."
The room erupted into laughter as Devanshi playfully swatted Tarun's arm. "Shaadi ko 2 mahine hue aur abhi se itni complaints. Not fair Jiju."

Shubman stood alone on the dais waiting for Devanshi to make an entrance. The strains of Taylor Swift's "Paper Rings" filled the air, Devanshi along with her sisters and friends gained the spotlight as the swayed on the lyrics.
I want to drive away with you
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
I want to drive away with you
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
Uh-huh
Devanshi approached Shubman who was shying out. She wrapped her arms around him and he courteously held her. She leaned in and sang the lyrics. Her fresh minty breath from the mouth freshener she used a while ago.
The couple stood facing each other, their hearts pounding. The room was aglow with the soft light of twinkling fairy lights, casting a romantic aura over the scene. With a smile that lit up her face, Devanshi reached out to take Shubman's hand, her eyes locked with his.
"Are you ready for this, Shubman?" she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Like it matters." Her teasing smile fell but soon recovered by a fake one.
With that, they exchanged the rings they had chosen for each other, a symbol of their love and commitment. For them it was just a massive weight on their hand. Devanshi's eyes shimmered with tears as Shubman slipped the ring onto her finger.
As the applause died down, Anaya and Shahneel took to the dance floor, their infectious energy electrifying the room. With graceful movements and synchronized steps, they danced to the lively beats of "Say na Say na" and "Nachde Ne Saare," their performance a celebration of love and joy.
The night wore on, the dance floor was open to everyone, and guests took to the floor with gusto, spinning and twirling to the music. Devanshi and Shubman found themselves swept up in the whirlwind of celebration, their laughter mingling with the sounds of laughter and music.
