It is a special day for sportsman Gautam Gambhir as he marries Natasha Jain, daughter of a prominent businessman.

Reports say that the ceremony will be held at the Westend Farms in Gurgaon Road, Delhi. The pheras will begin at around 5pm.

The mehndi ceremony took place at 5pm last evening followed by the sangeet ceremony, while the haat thera ceremony was held at Ms Jain’s house this morning.

Around 300 guests have been invited to the private affair, including cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and actor Shah Rukh Khan. Gautam was also keen on having perform at his wedding but this was unfortunately not possible due to a visa issue.

Bride Natasha will be wearing a gown made by fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani during the marriage ceremony.

Famous wedding planner Meher Sarid and Sunny Sarid have given the wedding venue a stylish floral look with elaborate décor in maroon, off white and gold. In addition, fresh flowers have been exported from abroad to add to the celebration.

Later in the evening, the newly married couple will give media interviews for 45 minutes at a separate venue and will then head back to the wedding venue where the reception will be followed with a dinner party.

It is rumoured that the dinner will include an elaborate menu of Indian, Thai and Continental dishes, plus a special paan stall. And since Gautam is extremely fond of hot chocolate fudge, a chocolate fountain will be flowing.
