Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh basically broke the internet last Sunday by finally confirming their November wedding. While rumour has it that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are tying the knot towards the end of the same month, Padukone and Singh marked the November 14 and 15 as the final dates for their nuptials. After rife speculation, the news was finally confirmed on both the actors’ Instagram accounts—with wishes pouring in from the entire Bollywood film fraternity—right before she premiered as a guest on the inaugural episode of Koffee With Karan’s sixth season. In conversation with Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt, she also revealed that it has been six years since she started dating Singh. Now, a report in Mid-Day gives us the complete wedding schedule for the impending celebrations, slated to take place at Lake Como in Italy and in Mumbai.

November 13: Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s sangeet at Lake Como, Italy

The wedding is set to be a four-day affair in Italy with the first function, the sangeet, kicking off on November 13.

November 14: A South Indian wedding at Lake Como, Italy

The first wedding will be a traditional Kannadiga ceremony. A source revealed to the publication that, “Since Deepika is a South Indian and Ranveer is of Sindhi-Punjabi origin, the two families decided to follow customs practised by both communities.”

November 15: A North Indian wedding at Lake Como, Italy

The second wedding function will be one honouring Singh’s origin. “The next day will see the couple solemnise their relationship as per the customs of a North Indian wedding (Anant Karaj),” according to the same source. They further added that the celebrations will be followed by an intimate party on November 15.

Finally, the couple will host a reception, reportedly at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Mumbai, for all their industry friends.

What will Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh wear at their wedding events?

It’s no secret that Padukone is a fan of Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s creations. It is rumoured that the couturier has actually designed the Como leg of the couple’s ceremonies, including the stunning outfits that both, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone will be seen wearing. Given that Singh has an eclectic taste in fashion, fans are waiting to see how he will bring it into his wedding ensembles, with Mukherjee’s creations. We also took a stab at guessing what Padukone’s wedding wardrobe will look like, here.

Of course, it isn’t a Bollywood wedding if there isn’t a big fat celebrity-studded party to wrap it up. While the Lake Como ceremonies are open to only the closest family members and maybe some friends, the Mumbai reception will be a much larger event. “Given her deep bond with Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan who had launched her in Bollywood, Deepika was certain that she wants them by her side on the auspicious day. The couple also considers Aditya Chopra and Sanjay Leela Bhansali their mentors,” the source was quoted saying. Others expected to be at the reception include Arjun Kapoor along with the Kapoor family, including Sonam, Anil, and others; Alia Bhatt, a friend and co-star of Singh’s; Karan Johar; Priyanka Chopra with Nick Jonas; Zoya Akhtar; Abhishek Bachchan; the Ambanis; Sabyasachi Mukherjee; Shahid and Mira Kapoor; and Karisma Kapoor, among others.
