New Delhi:
After eight long years of courtship, this is one tweet Riteish Deshmukh wasted no time in posting.
"MR & MRS DESHMUKH," he posted with a photo showing him with new wife Genelia, a short while ago, after his wedding today.
The groom's tweet was preceded by one from actor Shahid Kapoor, announcing the wedding of his Chance Pe Dance co- star. " And G is married !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbeleivable .:)," he posted.
The wedding, held in traditional Marathi style, was attended by bigwigs from the film and political world - among them Sharad Pawar, Prithviraj Chavan, Praful Patel, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Ajay Devgn and Kajol.
Riteish, wearing a white sherwani and red feta (turban), entered the Grand Hyatt on a ghodi. The baaraat started from the grounds near Grand Hyatt and reached the hotel. The actor's politician father, Vilasrao Deshmukh, was dressed in a brown sherwani.

Earlier, Riteish set the mood for the wedding with this tweet a few hours ago: "Saw the Last sunset as a Bachelor."
Riteish and Genelia's wedding today is expected to draw bigwigs from the film industry and politics. Father of the groom, Vilasrao Deshmukh, is the former chief minister of Maharashtra and is the Union Minister for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences.
Riteish, Genelia's grand sangeet
Both Riteish and his bride-to-be Genelia are on Twitter, this morning. Both sent tweets to Mona Kapoor, entrepreneur and first wife of producer Boney Kapoor, wishing her on her birthday. Earlier, they posted tweets to actor Priyanka Chopra who missed their sangeet due to filming.
Dressed in their best, stars at sangeet
Yesterday Riteish and Genelia wrapped up chores (their last as singles). We spotted them first at Linking Road in Bandra and later, Genelia prayed at her church.
Known to be religious, Genelia wore her pre-bridal glow, which added sheen to her otherwise casual jeans and blazer look.
A party, a grand sangeet on Tuesday and rituals have preceded the wedding.
While Riteish and Genelia's colleagues stepped out in their best traditional outfits and spent happy hours at the sangeet, Genelia was seen dancing her heart out at a ritual yesterday.
Moving away from tradition for a bit, a party was hosted for them by producer Sajid Nadiadwala and actor Fardeen Khan on January 24.
Riteish and Genelia first met while shooting their debut film Tujhe Meri Kasam in 2003. Despite leading public lives, their eight-year courtship has been largely private. Post marriage, the two will be seen together in a love story on screen - Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya - a Hindi film scheduled to release at the end of this month. (With PTI Inputs)
