Milind Soman reveals he had three wedding ceremonies with Ankita Konwar following different traditions

Milind Soman said, “The first was a Hindu marriage ceremony close to Alibagh. It was very pretty and convenient. At a place very special to us called Bohemyan Blue Stay.”

He added, “The second was a bit tricky. I had promised Ankita that we would also get married in a church if I could choose the church. I chose Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The destination for thousands of pilgrims for centuries. I had read about it many years ago in one of Paulo Coelho’s books, The Pilgrimage. We had to walk more than 20 days to get there. Eventually, we didn't have the ceremony in the church but in a forest in front of a waterfall just outside the city of Santiago, which was even more beautiful.”

Furthermore, he said, “The third was by chance. We learned about this place by the sea called [Capel] Finistene—at some distance from Santiago which literally means 'world's end.’ We exchanged special rings engraved with the Latin word Ultreia, which means 'go beyond.’”

Ankita Konwar added, “The first one was an amalgamation of Assamese and Maharashtrian cultures. We limited the guest list to only 60 people, including our families. The ceremonies went on for three days, and at the end, we planted a tree for each guest present. The second one was a barefoot white wedding, which I wanted. We walked over 320 kilometers to get there, and I carried my gown in my backpack throughout the journey. Our families joined us in Spain and a family member got ordained to officiate our wedding. My sisters-in-law made my tiara and bouquet from wild forest flowers. The third wedding was at Cape Finisterre. We threw away the stones that we carried along the way into the sea. which represented our sufferings in the past, and welcomed a whole new beginning in the place that Romans believed to be the last corner of the earth. (They thought that the earth was flat).”
