At the sangeet Mahesh Bhupathi danced on the song Dus bahane kar ke le gayi dil… for his bride. The groom, looking dapper in a Manav Gangwani chudidaar, joined his friends as they grooved to Crazy kiya re… from Dhoom 2. The gorgeous bride glowed in a Gangwani designed orange and gold lehenga, and an uncut diamond necklace with a maang teeka created by Anmol Jewellers.

Interestingly, the couple indulged in a friendly competition of sorts against each other as Bhupathi chose 10 Bollywood chartbusters to dance to while Dutta had picked about a dozen popular Bollywood songs. Mr and Mrs Bhupathi also specially danced to Zoobi zoobi… from 3 Idiots after Dutta showed off her moves to Munni badnaam hui…, Sheila ki jawani… and Desi girl.... The entire gathering cheered when the couple exchanged a kiss at the ceremony.

Mahesh looked very dapper in a black tuxedo, but it was Lara who drew gasps as she entered the venue. Lara looked absolutely stunning in an off-white form-fitting creation by Elie Saab. The all-lace outfit with a 10 metre train held up with a diamond tiara was offset by the flower girls in a matching shade.

The highlight of the evening was the two exchanging their vows. 36 year old, Bhupathi, said "Lara, when I first met you, this day was a dream. Today it is reality. When I'm on the tour, not a day goes by without me wishing I was home with you instead, so even when I'm gone I am with you." Further adding, "you are my companion, partner and best friend. I promise to stick by you through hits and flops. I look forward to growing old with you."

Lara Dutta, 32, could not hold back as she expressed her feelings for Mahesh, and tears came rolling down her eyes. She said, 'I promise to return your serves and volley alongside you. I will be with you through our many wins and occasional loss."

Mahesh and Lara, were married in a civil function earlier in the week in Bandra, they had a sangeet ceremony last evening, and a Christian wedding today, followed by an evening of dining and dancing.
