Indian Wedding of Trisha and Minesh in Mombasa Kenya

A Simple and Elegant Indian Destination Wedding in Mombasa that will steal your heart!

Trisha and Minesh – one of the calmest and understanding couple we have known. They were introduced to each other by a common relative and then began a journey of knowing each other, eventually love sparked and both of them decided to tie the knot. Minesh lives in the UK and Trisha is based in Canada, hence planning a destination wedding was not an easy task. Initially, their plan was to host a destination wedding in Goa, but due to a brief ban on the visa for Canadian citizens by India, they decided to shift and celebrate their destination wedding in Mombasa.

Trisha and Minesh planned their wedding events impressively, so their guests enjoyed every bit of it. Let’s take a look at the celebrations from their Indian Destination Wedding in Mombasa:
