2016 was more of a heartbreaker!
With most of our favourite celebrity couples breaking up, or taking the route to divorce, this year was indeed a year of break-ups.
But while many went the separate way, there were quite a few couples who took us by surprise, tying a knot this year. Embarking on a new journey of togetherness, a whole lot of beauties from Bollywood and Television, gave us some serious wedding goals.
With love struck candids and fun photos from their wedlocks filling up the Instagram, we almost felt as one of the invitees and cherished every moment from their nuptial rites.

Bollywood and Tollywood star, Asin married her long time beau, Micromax CEO, Rahul Sharma on the 19th of January this year. Though a private affair, the wedding was indeed a spectacular one, with the two exchanging vows in accordance with both the Christian and Hindu traditions. A beautiful Christian wedding ceremony in the church was preceded by an elaborate Hindu wedding, in the presence of close family and friends.
For her Christian Day Wedding, Asin dressed up angelic in a white Vera Wang number, concealing her face behind a delicate net veil.

Hazel Keech
This year saw one of the most eligible cricketers, Yuvraj Singh, settle down with Bollywood actress Hazel Keech. The wedding was a grand affair, spanning across two cities and boasting of attendees from both the cricketing world and Bollywood.

The lady got all her followers geared up for her D-Day, sharing clips from their dreamy romantic pre-wedding shoot.
The duo tied the knot on the 8th of July this year in Bhopal, with Divyanka donning a pretty red lehenga.
The wedding was followed by two grand receptions. One in Vivek’s hometown, Chandigarh and the other in Mumbai. While for the Chandigarh reception the lady looked charismatic in a maroon lehenga, for her Mumbai reception, Divyanka opted for a voluminous gown in purple.
