Where We Went Next
Alleppey, India
After the palace, we disappeared into the backwaters for two weeks, which became the real afterword to the wedding’s visual intensity.
First principle: soften after intensity
The honeymoon planning started with one rule: reduce friction, not experience. No forced must-do timeline, only two anchors and one slow day.

Alleppey week
- Two days of water silence before sightseeing
- Tea and street food only on alternate evenings
- One private dinner with no media crew present
This gave them back-to-back meaningful pauses, which protected both joy and energy.
Into the hills
Tea plantations in Munnar introduced a quieter register. They moved from celebration speed to slower movement, which turned the honeymoon into a reset instead of just a continuation.
