Roshni and Parth
Roshni Parikh, a 39-year-old radiologist, and Parth Worah, a 36-year-old nephrologist, embarked on their beautiful journey of love that culminated in a stunning wedding on May 18, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa in Bastrop, TX. With 250 guests in attendance, the wedding was a grand affair, filled with vibrant celebrations, personal touches, and unforgettable memories. The couple met on Hinge in late 2022 after Roshni relocated to Houston from St. Louis, MO. Their first date at Chuy’s Tex Mex sparked an instant connection, leading to six months of memorable outings, from axe throwing to attending the Houston Rodeo. They soon became inseparable, and after meeting each other’s families, it was clear that their bond was meant to be.

Parth’s proposal was nothing short of magical. The couple was in Peru for a getaway, where Roshni had arranged a photoshoot. What she didn’t know was that Parth had planned a surprise proposal during the session. As the sun set over the Sacred Valley at the Rio Sagrado Hotel, Parth proposed with a ring surrounded by rose petals, making it an emotional and perfect moment, captured by the photographer. Planning the wedding was made easier with the help of wedding planner Rathi Menon. Her expert coordination allowed the couple to focus on enjoying their day while Rathi and her team managed all the details. The couple chose the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa for its ideal location—just two hours from Houston—and the resort’s ability to accommodate a weekend-long celebration with family and friends. The pre-wedding events were a delightful mix of color, culture, and fun. The Haldi ceremony, dubbed the “Color Bash,” featured vibrant hues of hot pink, yellow, and white, with fun games and performances. The Sangeet, themed “The Dhoom Dham Mela,” was a colorful celebration of Rajasthani and carnival influences, featuring a decorated auto rickshaw and a Desi Bazaar for guests to enjoy. The wedding ceremony itself was a beautiful outdoor affair, with the bride’s dog, Max, making a charming entrance in a miniature motorized white Mercedes. The reception, themed “Soiree ‘A Paris,” was nothing short of glamorous. The ballroom was transformed with red, black, and white décor, featuring a Moulin Rouge canopy and a black-and-white checkered dance floor. Tall white floral arrangements adorned the tables, with personalized touches like red organza potlis filled with chocolates for guests. The reception also featured a love story video that cleverly tied into the couple’s grand entrance. Music played a key role throughout the celebrations. The first dance, a medley of songs including Ve Maahi and Shape of You, set the tone for the evening. The father-daughter dance to Kudmayi from Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, and the mother-son dance to Chaoro from Mary Kom, were heartwarming moments that brought tears and smiles to all. The dance floor stayed alive with a blend of Bollywood and Hollywood hits, making for a truly dynamic celebration. One of the most personal touches was the Sangeet performance, where 16 dances by family and friends told the couple’s love story through five themed episodes. From how they met to the proposal, the production was a unique way to narrate their journey. Another highlight was the couple’s wedding podcast, which featured three episodes documenting their love story, wedding details, and a thank-you message to their guests. DIY projects added a personal flair to the wedding, with the couple creating everything from personalized water bottles and a wedding newspaper to welcome hampers and a Desi Shopping Bazaar. These heartfelt touches made the wedding feel intimate and special for everyone involved. The wedding truly had it all: beautiful décor, heartfelt performances, and personal moments that made it one-of-a-kind. For couples planning their own weddings, Roshni and Parth’s advice is simple—”Enjoy the entire process. The wedding planning process can be stressful, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The weekend will go by so fast, but it will stay with you forever.”
