Talking about the wedding, Priyanshu said,
At the beginning of 2020, we are walking comfortably, not knowing what will happen. Every day since then has been a reminder of precious family and loved ones. The pandemic has stopped wedding plans all over the world but Vandana and I took it in stride and decided to have an intimate gathering. For those of you who couldn’t be there, I know you are all somewhere in spirit. We tied the knot as a reminder to us and everyone that no matter where life takes us, family remains sacred and must be our priority. It was the best day of our lives and what made it even more special was the realization that when everything around was so hopeless, God was kind enough to give us the greatest joy in the world. Between each other, we promise for life to be best friends, soulmates, partners and equals. What does love look like in the time of the coronavirus, you ask? In the words of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, ‘The time has come for them both to love each other, without haste or excess, when both are aware and grateful for their extraordinary victory over adversity. Life will still present them with other moral tests, of course, but that no longer matters.’”
