During the wedding, two separate functions were arranged. Due to religious differences, two weddings took place; one in the church and another in the temple. Both of them showed respect to each other's religion and attended both the weddings. Both weddings were tremendously different from each other, including, instead of exchanging rings, Hindu weddings exchange garlands. Hindu marriages do 'Saat Phere' (seven circulations) around a born fire as they have a custom to follow which is not done in Christian marriages.

Just so it would make him feel blissful. She changed her career and now is a nurse in a hospital and loves her new profession.
