Neeraj Chopra chose a secluded resort in Himachal Pradesh for his wedding; guests were asked to not bring mobile phones
Olympian Neeraj Chopra and Himani Mor’s intimate wedding took place at a secluded resort in Himachal Pradesh, featuring only 70 guests.
Double Olymic medal winning athlete Neeraj Chopra and tennis coach Himani Mor quietly tied the knot at a private resort in Himachal Pradesh. The wedding took place near Gandhigram on the Kumarhatti-Nahan highway, just 50 km from Chandigarh. The peaceful hill resort, surrounded by pine forests, made for an ideal setting for the couple's low-key ceremony.
According to reports, the venue, known for hosting destination weddings, was decorated in green and pastel tones. With only 70 close friends and family in attendance, the wedding was kept under wraps. To maintain privacy, guests were not allowed to bring mobile phones or gadgets, keeping the event secret until the couple shared the news.
Neeraj and Himani had kept their wedding plans private, surprising everyone when Neeraj posted on social media on January 20, after the couple had left for their honeymoon.

{{/usCountry}}"It is a love plus arranged marriage. Neeraj and Himani took permission from their parents, and then they went ahead with it," he added.
Neeraj's uncle also stated that he had organised the three-day wedding celebrations from January 14 to 16 in Himachal Pradesh. Even the 'pandit' who officiated the wedding was unaware of Neeraj's identity. Neeraj did not accept any dowry for the marriage. Instead, his family took a token amount of INR 1 as 'shagun'.
They plan to host a reception after returning to India.
