EXCLUSIVE: Sachin, Dhoni will be baraatis tomorrow at Yuvraj - Hazel Goa wedding

Tomorrow Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech will get married according to Hindu rituals at the Teso Waterfront at Siolim in North Goa. On November 30 they had a Sikh marriage. After the Goa wedding, Yuvraj and Hazel will throw a grand reception at a seven-star hotel in Delhi.

Here’s a lowdown on what will happen tomorrow: 

The baraat will take off half a km away from the venue and will have Yuvraj attired in a gold brocade sherwani. Everything has been planned by Hazel and Yuvi’s mother Shabnam Singh right down to the minutest detail.

Yuvi will come on a horse to the Teso Waterfont where a huge mandap has been constructed for the wedding at the hall. Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and Angad Bedi will accompany Yuvi as part of the baraatis and they will come dancing as he rides on the horse. 

The wedding pheras will take place around 4 pm. Fairy lights have been put up on the bamboos and there will be lots of flowers, including marigolds. The mandap is on a height and is made with a wooden frame, which will be covered with brightly covered cloth.

A big stage has been put up for the post-wedding celebrations with huge lights. The bar will be decorated with sea food including oysters and the menu will include all the traditional and local Goan cuisine, again handpicked by Hazel and Shabnam.

Apart from Sachin and Dhoni other cricketers including Virat Kohli and Harbhajan Singh are supposed to attend the wedding ceremony too and everyone is staying at Teso. They will be flying in tomorrow morning. Sachin and Yuvi arrived tonight. 

A live band A26 (from Goa) and DJ Sumeet Shetty, have specially been flown down from Delhi.

Teso has seven rooms with seven different colour themes like the rainbow. Yuvi has booked four rooms - two Platino rooms for his family (the red and orange rooms), one for Hazel's BFF Bruna Abdullah and one for the pandit, who has been specially flown down from Chandigarh, to conduct the wedding rituals tomorrow.

The bride will wear a red-and-gold Benarasi sari for the wedding with a zardozi kamarbandh (outfit and styling by Ashley Rebello) and jewellery by Anmol. Hazel will wear an indigo-colored jumpsuit with a zardozi belt and collar for brunch the next day which will take place from from 2 pm onwards at Yuvi’s house at Morjim Goa.

Dinner and cocktails are being held at a local restaurant at Vagator beach.
