Udaipur (PTI): A day after tying the knot, actor Parineeti Chopra and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha on Monday morning shared the first photographs on social media from their intimate wedding ceremony at a luxury hotel here.
Parineeti and Raghav, both 34, got married on early Sunday evening. The baraat arrived at the Leela Palace in beautifully decorated boats.
The couple's wedding attire was aligned to the theme of the main function, which was "pearl white".
"From the very first chat at the breakfast table, our hearts knew. Been waiting for this day for a long time .. So blessed to finally be Mr and Mrs! Couldn't have lived without each other .. Our forever begins now .." the couple shared a series of pictures on Instagram.
The bride opted for an embellished ivory lehenga paired with a customised veil, which had her husband's first name 'Raghav', embroidered in Hindi in golden colour. She completed her look with precious stone jewellery and minimal make-up and mehendi.
Dressed in an ivory sherwani and saafa, Raghav coordinated his look with Parineeti.
For the post-wedding function, the bride chose a champagne pink sequin saree with cape, teamed it with elegant precious stone jewellery and pink choodha (bangles). The groom opted for a classic black tuxedo.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann attended the nuptials. Fashion designer Manish Malhotra, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh with actor-wife Geeta Basra, and former tennis star Sania Mirza were also present.
Parineeti and Raghav arrived here on Friday along with their families. The pre-wedding functions, including sangeet, took place on Saturday and the main ceremony was held on Sunday.

Air pollution in North India a 'national emergency', MPs must discuss ways to end crisis: Rahul
New Delhi (PTI): Asserting that air pollution in North India is a "national emergency", Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday urged fellow MPs to come together in the upcoming Parliament session and discuss how the nation can end this crisis once and for all.
He said the air pollution crisis needs a collective national response, not political blame games.
Gandhi shared a video on X in which he is discussing the air pollution issue with environmentalist Vimlendu Jha at the India Gate here.
In his post along with the video, the Congress leader said air pollution in North India is a national emergency -- a public health crisis that is stealing our children’s future and suffocating the elderly, and an environmental and economic disaster that is ruining countless lives.
"The poorest among us suffer the most, unable to escape the toxic air that surrounds them. Families are gasping for clean air, children are falling sick and millions of lives are being cut short. Tourism is declining and our global reputation is crumbling," the former Congress chief said.
"The cloud of pollution covers hundreds of kilometres. Cleaning it up will need major changes and decisive action -- from governments, companies, experts and citizens. We need a collective national response, not political blame games," he added.
As Parliament meets in a few days, the MPs will all be reminded of the crisis by our irritated eyes and sore throats, he said.
"It is our responsibility to come together and discuss how India can end this crisis once and for all," Gandhi said.
In the video, the Congress leader asks the reasons for the air pollution crisis from Jha who responds by saying that it is a pan India problem and in NCR there are two sources -- episodic sources and perennial sources.
Jha highlights that stubble burning is an issue but only for three weeks and there is a need to provide the farmers with incentives.
The environmentalist, in conversation with Gandhi, calls for bringing about lifestyle changes to deal with the air pollution crisis.
The Winter Session of Parliament begins on November 25 and will continue till December 20.
