A Sunset Punjabi Wedding That Felt Like a Dream
Some love stories arrive like a storm. Others, like Princy and Joban’s, bloom slowly and deeply—becoming unforgettable in their own time. Their sunset Punjabi wedding was more than a union; it was a decade-long journey of trust, patience, and devotion.
They first met on the very first day of college in January 2015. What began as friendship grew steadily into something unshakable. “We didn’t plan it,” shares Princy. “But we knew.”
When Love Meant Waiting
Their story wasn’t without hurdles. “When I told my parents, they weren’t happy,” she remembers. Coming from different religious backgrounds, convincing their families wasn’t easy. But with time, understanding and love prevailed. Since 2020, they had been dreaming of marriage—yet every year, something caused a delay.
Then came January 2025. The wedding wasn’t just a celebration—it was a quiet victory. “It was everything we had waited for. A moment 10 years in the making.”
Styling the Bride for a Sunset Punjabi Wedding
For Princy, the colour red was non-negotiable. “There was no other colour in my mind,” she says. After weeks of visiting Delhi’s top designers alongside her stylist, she finally found the one at Seema Gujral. “When I saw it, I knew. That lehenga had my heart.”
Even her bridal veil carried meaning. Personalized with the words “Worth the Wait” and the couple’s initials, it became the emotional centerpiece of her bridal look. “It wasn’t just fabric—it was our journey, captured in thread.”

The Groom’s Maharaja Moment
Joban had a vision too—one rooted in Punjabi elegance and regal aesthetics. After exploring countless stores in Delhi, he found his dream outfit at SEO Bridal Studio in Ludhiana. “He always imagined himself in something timeless and rooted in heritage,” says Princy. “This outfit captured that perfectly.”

A Dream Sunset Wedding
Princy always envisioned a sunset wedding. As fate would have it, the January sun shone just right. “I couldn’t thank God enough for that weather,” she smiles.
She walked down the aisle to Kive Mukhde Toh Nazra Hatava, and the couple exchanged varmalas to Hare Ram Hare Ram. “I kept silently thanking my parents and the universe,” she shares. The glow of the setting sun, the softness of the music, and the love in the air made it a moment suspended in time.
A Twist in the Jutta Churai
Among the emotional highs, laughter found its place. During the jutti ceremony, while the bride’s side managed to sneak Joban’s shoes, his friends cheekily took Princy’s juttis in return. “It turned into a full-blown jutti negotiation from both sides!” she laughs. “One of our favourite memories.”
Words for Couples Planning Their Day
“Start early,” the couple advises. “Plan 6 to 8 months in advance if you want to achieve your dream wedding.” But above all, they stress presence: “Once it begins, don’t stress about the decor or the schedule. Live it. Feel it. That’s what stays with you.”
What Marriage Means to Them
“To us, marriage means we are one soul in two bodies. Life may bring challenges, but we’ll face them together,” says Joban. “We’re not opponents—we’re on the same team.”
