Miss World Asia 2014 Koyal Rana tied the knot with Delhi-based businessman Ayush Dabas on July 15 at a farmhouse in Delhi.
The interesting thing is that Koyal met Ayush only a few months back, in fact, during the lockdown. Their families introduced them. "Many people have been asking me if it's an arranged or a love marriage, and I have been telling everyone that it was a destined wedding. We were introduced by our families during the lockdown and things moved fast," says Koyal.
Talking about their relationship, Koyal shares, "Our families met over tea. We started talking about spirituality, history, education and I never wanted our conversations to end. With Ayush my conversation flowed so beautifully and we couldn't believe how much in common we both had. We share the same set of values and aspirations. We didn't exchange our contact numbers then, and we didn't get in touch for a week. Then he called on my mom's phone to talk to me and we had a long conversation. We both decided to go with the flow and see where it would lead us."
Koyal adds, "I was working on a project at that time and we started talking about that and I told him that I'd like to share some of my thoughts over email. I am a writer and he made a few observations about my project in his reply to my email. I was very impressed and I wrote back a very heartfelt mail. Soon our conversations grew over the email, and in no time our emails started to feel like love letters. We met again and felt so comfortable in each other's company that it didn't take much time for us to figure out that it was always meant to be. What is the most important decision of one's life turned out to the most easiest for us."
The wedding was an intimate affair with just family members in attendance. "I never wanted to have a gala, lavish wedding. I always dreamt of a simple ceremony in the presence of family members and I think I got lucky that I got exactly what I wished for. It was a dream wedding for me. Celebrations started with a haldi function, which was followed by sangeet and mehendi and then the wedding ceremony. It was a five-day affair and I had so much fun," says Koyal, adding, "I was more than happy that the wedding was happening while there were some restrictions on the number of people who could attend because of the pandemic. I always wanted a simple wedding with very few people."

But she did miss her friends and relatives. Koyal shares, "Most of my extended family stays outside Delhi, so they could not travel for the wedding. Even my friends could not come for any of the functions here. I did miss them and once all the ceremonies were over I spoke to them over a video call. Now I am looking forward to meet them soon."
