RAJKOT: Rajasthan is the favourite wedding destination among foreigners and NRIs but thanks to Rannotsav, the desert festival, tourists are opting for Kutch too. On Wednesday , Heena Bapodara entered into wedlock with Jasson Konvel at a safari resort near Bhuj. After the Hindu wedding rituals both families went to white desert to enjoy its beauty.
Heena G Bapodara is basically from Vadodara. She went to the UK eight years ago and works with an NGO at London, where she met Jason.
Rajasthan was their first choice but then Heena suggested Gujarat as she wanted to go back to her home state. She suggested Kutch and Jason who was already in love with the beauty of Kutch readily accepted it. The Hindu marriage ceremony was organised at a resort near Rudrani mata in which 12 family members of the Konvel family including the grandparents of Jason participated .All were dressed in beautiful Shervani and traditional lehenga cholis. Daub and Kate, Jason's parents were happy as they got a beautiful Indian bride for their son and an opportunity to Visit Kutch. They said, "We are overwhelmed, Kutchi's are very good host ,they made our occasion very memorable.''
A senior officer from Gujarat tourism department Hemant Pradhan took the opportunity to invite the newly wedded at Tent city at Dhordo and provided all the facility complimentary. Pradhan talking to TOI said that this is our chance to boost wedding tourism. "I not only invited them but personally arranged for them all the things and that they feel special.''
