As many international destinations still have travel restrictions, a large portion of summer weddings are likely to take place in India this year and soon-to-be married couples are already looking for cool desi getaways in hills, mountains, islands and jungles, away from the sweltering heat of North India. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Anam Zubair, Associate Director of Marketing at WeddingWire India, revealed, “This wedding season is going to be a big bang, according to the Indian wedding dates calendar. In the summer of 2022, starting April till July, there are 29 mahurats (auspicious) dates which is almost 58% of the entire year’s mahurats. May is very heavy with 11 mahurat days and there are nine days in June. As per industry statistics, around 40 lakh weddings are to be solemnized from April-July.” She listed five fantastic summer wedding sites where you may have the wedding of your dreams and say "I Do" in lovely weather.
