It's true what they all say, 'The wedding day goes by in flash.' Memories are what you cherish forever and even look back on the immediate day that follows. Thus, photo ops are very very crucial for every wedding ceremony. Starting with the getting ready shots to a sparkler exit, these pictures are a world you will visit from time to time. Sonam Kapoor tied the knot with long-time beau Anand Ahuja in a traditional Anand Karaj ceremony on May 8, 2018.

For the big occasion, the actress entrusted Vogue India with the task of capturing the most special days of her life that tell a story when weaved together. Revisiting the pages of her fairytale wedding festivities, Sonam took to her Instagram to share a few chapters from her beloved book of memories. The shots range from primping time with girlfriends, to final touches by her mamma dearest, to the first beauty moment to the first official Mr. and Mrs. ones.

Sonam - Anand's wedding festivities kickstarted on the evening of May 6 with a private Mehendi ceremony at Anil Kapoor's Juhu residence. Here's a beautiful mother Sunita Kapoor applying henna on the hands of her the then bride-to-be daughter Sonam.
