2012 Wrap Up: Weddings in Tinsel Town

Marriage. A sacred institution which binds two individuals into a lifelong bond. A journey of shared life experiences. A promise one vows to stand by the other through thick and thin. So as we march towards the end of the year, let's reminisce the same auspicious step our dear Bollywood celebs took. Henceforth, BollyCurry brings to you the top three couples of Bollywood who exchanged their vows in 2012.

One of the most successful actresses of her time, Vidya Balan opened out her relationship with UTV Head, Siddharth Roy Kapoor, in May 2012. Seven months later, they're all set to tie the knot on 14th December 2012. The celebrations are strongly rumored to extend across two cities, with the marriage taking place in Mumbai followed by a reception being held in Chennai, Vidya's hometown.

Saif Ali Khan's history consists of a broken marriage and Kareena's love life hasn't been too fruitful either as her relationship with long-time boyfriend Shahid Kapoor catapulted to nothing. Yet, these two Bollywood stars managed to find love again in each other. The couple, fondly termed as Saifeena, started dating in 2007 whilst working on a mutual film together - Tashan. After much speculation, denial and confirmation, the duo formally tied the knot five years later on 16th October, 2012. Their wedding was a quiet affair, a registered marriage in presence of family and close friends at Khan's ancestral Pautadi home, followed by a royal Dawat-e-Walima reception.

The 2004 multi-starrer, Masti, sparked something that left lovers of the Bolly world a little shocked as a real love story bloomed between it's actors - Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D'souza. After secretly dating for an incredible eight years, they finally decided to take their relationship to the next level on 3rd February, 2012. A magnificent Maharashtrian-style wedding was their choice where they also exchanged wedding vows as per Catholic rituals at a local church followed by a grand wedding reception attended by all their loved ones.

Along with these ravishing weddings, tinsel town also saw Esha Deol tie the knot with businessman Bharat Takhtani. The duo got engaged earlier this year and then took vows as per South Indian customs on June 29th, 2012.
