The bride,Bakhtawar shimmering in a gold-speckled ensemble by Wardha Saleem, married Mahmood Choudhry, the son of a US-based businessman, in a daytime ceremony today at Bilawal House in Karachi.
Her brother, PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, shared pictures and a sweet message on Twitter: "Happiest moment in many years to see my sister Bakhtawar getting married.""Felt like our mother was watching over us in this moment of joy. Wishing them both all the best of for their new life together," said the son of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and former president Asif Ali Zardari.
The youngest sibling, Aseefa, wished the couple "a lifetime of happiness and joy" on their new journey.
"I love you, my dear sister. I wish you a happy married life," she wrote.The groom wore a classic cream-coloured sherwani while Bilawal stuck with his staple: shalwar kameez and a blazer. The pictures also show Zardari in attendance.Bakhtawar and Choudhry exchanged rings in an intimate ceremony in November 2020. A milad was held on Jan 24 and a mehndi ceremony on Jan 27.
According to PPP sources and spokesperson, the function of baraat will take place tomorrow (Jan 30).
A brief statement issued by Bilawal House said that some 300 guests are expected at the main function due to the standard operating procedures related to Covid-19.
While we're still waiting to see what the 31-year-old wore at her mehndi function, we did get a glimpse of Bakhtawar glowing a day before the festivities, her hands decorated with intricate bridal henna with hints of Sindh's ajrak in it.
There has been a lot of suspense on whether politicians apart from PPP's, such as PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz, have been invited to one of the most anticipated weddings of the season. For that, we'll just have to for more pictures!
There's so many little things about desi weddings that make for sentimental stories — family heirlooms etched in memory and carefully passed down from generations on your big day has to be one of our favourite parts.
Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari, a week after her engagement ceremony to Mahmood Chaudhry, is now little by little revealing all the thought that went into planning her special day. Along with including a picture of her parents on the card, she made sure to get photographed besides a portrait of her late mother and former prime minister, Benazir Bhutto.She also shared another detail on Instagram that we didn’t know about before, about what made Chaudhry's engagement ring so special."Its A Ring Story: my mother had her father’s wedding ring copied and made for my father when they got married - I had the same ring duplicated and made for Mahmood Chaudhry," she posted.
For their first photo as an engaged couple, the duo posed under a glorious pink bougainvillea tree, with Bhutto looking stunning in a bespoke outfit courtesy of Nida Azwer atelier.
While Chaudhry chose to go all-white on the occasion, Bakhtawar's tea pink dress paired with an ornately hand-worked shawl, was one to remember, embroidered with images of her past (her parents' wedding day, her grandmother, and her siblings playing in push-cars) on one side and her future (meeting her fiance, the proposal and her home and pet dog) on the other.
Surely, Bakhtawar has an eye for detail and a whole lot of love for her ancestors. We’re keeping our eyes peeled for their wedding festivities!
