Their wedding invite was as sublime and beautiful as the couple themselves and the same could be read as, “With the blessings of our families, it gives us immense joy in sharing that our wedding is set to take place on the 14th and 15th of November 2018. We thank you for all the love you have showered upon us over the years and seek your blessings as we embark on this incredible journey of love, loyalty, friendship and togetherness. Lots of love, Deepika and Ranveer.”
The couple got married on November 14-15, 2018 at a private and traditional wedding ceremony in Italy. Their pre-wedding festivities had begun from November 12, 2018 and the couple had returned back to India on November 18, 2018. A huge array of fans and shutterbugs had gathered at the Mumbai airport to welcome the newly-weds. Donned in traditional avatars and twinning in ivory, Deepika and Ranveer looked like a match made in heaven as they smiled and waved at fans. Here’s a picture of the same:
But there’s much more to it! If you closely notice the palm of Ranveer Singh, you will spot a mehendi design which consists of a diya (lamp) and three stars surrounding it, with Deepika’s name written in Hindi. If you are about to go all ‘awww’ about it, we will ask you to wait for a second! As per a TOI report, Ranveer wanted nothing but just this particular design, because the diya stands for Deep in Deepika, the three stars surrounding it symbolises his mom-dad and sister and we all know about the Deepika written in Hindi thingy! Now, you have the full permission to go all ‘awww’! (Also Read: Anil Kapoor Feeds His Birthday Cake To Sonam Kapoor And Her Hubby, Anand Ahuja Over Video Call)
The couple had hosted as much as three wedding receptions for different sets of people. A fun incident happened at their Mumbai reception, which they had hosted for their friends from the media. To give you all a flashback of the same, as soon as Deepika and Ranveer had appeared in front of the paparazzi, shutterbugs immediately started grabbing most of this wonderful sight. Both Ranveer and Deepika, who seem to have a very good rapport with the media were suddenly seen breaking into jitters of laughter. Why? All the cameramen stationed outside DeepVeer’s wedding venue, started calling Deepika ‘Bhabhiji’ as soon as they spotted her! This made the beautiful couple almost go all ‘rolling on the floor laughing’! Here’s the video:
If reports are to be believed, Ranveer had given his ‘would be wifey’ Deepika, the liberty to choose a suitable wedding date. A source close to the couple had also stated to a leading publication, “You won't find a more committed boyfriend than Ranveer in the entertainment industry. If he could have things his way, he would hold Deepika's hand and take her around the holy fire without a moment's loss. He wants her and only her as his wife, and he wants to start a family as soon as she's ready.”
In an interview with Rajdeep Sardesai on his show, India Today India Tomorrow, Deepika had shared some very interesting details prior to her wedding. She was quoted as saying, “I'm excited in the same way as I'm excited about signing my next film. Marriage is something that I've always looked forward to in my life, as would any other girl." Further speaking about her inspiration towards a happy marriage, the Happy New Year star stated, “I've seen my parents do it so well and so successfully and I think for me, that's the way I would like my married life to be as well. My parents have a beautiful relationship. The way they have managed their professional life as well as being together as a family. They have set such amazing benchmarks that both I and my sister (Anisha Padukone) would like to follow."

Hardly six months into the relationship and Ranveer Singh knew that Deepika was ‘the one’ for him! In an interview with Filmfare, he was quoted as saying, “Six months into the relationship, I knew she was the one. I nurtured the relationship accordingly. It’s been six years now. She’s too good, too lovely. She’s a force of nature. I understood that almost immediately. I’m lucky to have her. I knew all too well that this is the woman I’m going to marry. This is the woman who would become the mother of my children. I’ve been thinking about marriage seriously for almost three years now. I was just waiting, I told her the minute you say so, we’ll do it.”
