'Everything
went very well. All parents want their children to get married happily
and that goes the same for Shilpa's parents as well. They are very
happy,' said Kiran Bawa, Shilpa's friend and business partner, after
the wedding.'Raj and Shilpa both were very nervous before the marriage
but now they are happy. We are going straight to Raj's house in
Mumbai,' she added.

Wearing
a red sari designed by Tarun Tahiliani, the 34-year-old exchanged vows
with Kundra as per the Bunt tradition, according to the Mangalorean
community that the Shettys belong to. The groom was sporting a maroon
sherwani with golden embroidery and a turban with his face veiled by a
sehra (string of pearls). He was also holding a sword in his hand, as
per Indian tradition.

Kundra
left Amrit Villa, located about five minutes away from Bawa Villa,
where the wedding was held, in a two-horse chariot. Photographers
scrambled to train their cameras at the goings-on while curious
star-gazers were kept at bay by both private and police security.
Sunday's wedding was the climax of the two-day festivities that
included a sangeet ceremony Saturday night here.

The
buzz around the marriage started early this year and had been steadily
getting louder even though Shilpa denied it officially before getting
engaged to Kundra late October. Expected at the marriage were
celebrities like the Bachchan family, Shah Rukh Khan and family, the
Kapoors, Rekha, Farah Khan, Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Karan Johar,
the Deols and Sushmita Sen.

However,
noticed prominently on the occasion were only actors Rohit Roy, Jackky
Bhagnani and Tahiliani. Shilpa also delighted fans by posting a blog
entry titled 'This is it' on her D-day. 'Thanks for all the best wishes
from family and friends...Will write to you very soon... As Shilpa
Shetty Kundra. This is it,' she posted on www.shilpashettylive.com/blog
Sunday morning.

Shilpa
met Raj after her win on the British reality show 'Big Brother' in
2007. Shilpa's sister, actress Shamita who was participating in the
third edition of 'Bigg Boss', withdrew voluntarily from the show to
attend the wedding.
