Singer Stebin Ben and Nupur Sanon’s pre-wedding celebrations begin today in Udaipur with haldi and mehendi ceremonies. The celebrations will continue with a Christian wedding ceremony scheduled tomorrow, while the pheras will take place on January 11.

A roast and toast segment for the bride and groom
Sources close to the couple revealed that the wedding will be marked by several heartfelt moments. “Nupur’s father will walk her down the aisle, while her sister, Kriti, will take on the role of maid of honour. Adding a unique and personal touch to the celebrations, the couple has planned a special 'roast-and-toast' segment during the wedding festivities. Their loved ones will either lovingly roast them or emotionally toast them. They’re extremely excited and looking forward to it,” said a source.

A special touch to Kriti's outfit
Fashion remains a key highlight of the wedding. The source adds, “All bridesmaid outfits have been designed by Nupur’s label and feature an aqua, Tiffany blue–inspired shade. Kriti’s outfit has been given a special touch to make it stand out.”

Sanon sisters on the dance floor
Music and nostalgia will also take centre stage. “Nupur and Kriti will be performing together to two fun songs at one of the events. These are special songs that they both used to dance to as kids, which are close to their hearts,” the source revealed. Designer Manish Malhotra has designed outfits for the entire Sanon family for the celebrations, including the main ceremony on January 11.
