Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh:

Priyanka's wedding ceremonies and the pre-wedding functions were in Jodhpur in the presence of just close friends and family.

Sonam Kapoor And Anand Ahuja:
Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja had a true blue Punjabi wedding in Mumbai on May 8 with band baaja baarat that got Mumbai talking for days. Delhi-based entrepreneur Anand danced with Bollywood's biggest names not just at the star-studded reception but also at the mehendi ceremony and sangeet parties. Sonam and Anand married in an Anand Karaj on the morning of May 8 and hosted the wedding reception on the same evening. Anand, who owns a sneaker brand named VegNonVeg, wore a pair to his own wedding reception - setting the trend for Deepika Padukone who also kicked off her heels to dance at her Bollywood reception in trainers.
Isha Ambani And Anand Piramal:
Perhaps the grandest of all celebrity weddings was that of Mukesh and Nita Ambani's daughter Isha Ambani's. The venue for Isha and industrialist Anand Piramal's big fat wedding was the Ambani residence Antilia, which saw the creme-de-la-creme of Bollywood pouring in to bless the couple on December 12. Deepika, Ranveer, Priyanka, Nick, the Khans and the Bachchans, most of who were also part of Isha Ambani's pre-wedding festivities in Udaipur, were in attendance.
In viral pictures and videos on social media, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and other stars were spotted helping serve dinner to the groom's family as part of a traditional ritual. Previously, Shah Rukh and Gauri had also lit up Isha Ambani's sangeet in Udaipur with performances, as did Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Beyonce flew in to Udaipur for just a day - she was the star performer at the sangeet. The guest list also included the likes of Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, all the way from USA.
Earlier in July, Mukesh and Nita Ambani's son Akash Ambani got engaged to Shloka Mehta in a glitzy ceremony in Mumbai, which too was made a star-studded affair by Bollywood biggies.
Neha Dhupia And Angad Bedi:
Just two days after Sonam's shaadi, Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi had a hush hush wedding at a Delhi gurudwara in the presence of close family members. Karan Johar was the first celebrity to congratulate the couple on social media. At that point it was speculated that the couple had a rushed wedding because of Neha's then unconfirmed pregnancy. But it was only much later that they made the pregnancy announcement and revealed in interviews that the previous speculation was actually true. Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi welcomed a baby girl in November, who they've named Mehr Dhupia Bedi.
