A blitz of wedding pictures today overwhelmed the Internet; newlyweds Shibani Dandekar and Farhan Akhtar shared their first posts after getting married and it was only the beginning of a deluge of photos. Groomsman Ritesh Sidhwani gave us an insider's view of what went down at wedding festivities in two fabulous sets of pictures posted on Instagram. Shibani and Farhan exchanged vows at the Akhtar family property in Khandala last Saturday and had a civil marriage in Mumbai on Monday. A mehendi preceded the wedding and a post-party was held on Monday.
There were also other festivities as is plain from the first picture shared by Ritesh in a post he captioned, "A weekend full of smiles, love and laughter." It shows Shibani in a shimmery green dress, crouched in front of Farhan, Ritesh and other wedding guests. Other photos show Farhan's mother Honey Irani with the groomsmen and Ritesh with wife Dolly Sidhwani.
