Boyfriends Amit Shah and Aditya Madiraju tied the knot in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony last week in New Jersey and it’s making front page news back in their home country.
People can’t stop talking about “the adorably fashionable twinning grooms” who wore matching pastel kurtas by designer Anita Dongre as they exchanged vows at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in New Jersey.
In an interview, Amit explained, “We wanted a proper Indian wedding. At a time when Aditya’s parents, who are based in India, were visiting us in America for the first time felt like the ideal date. It was all completely organic, we didn’t force anything. We are truly lucky to have parents who are so supportive.”
The wedding ceremony was followed by a Sangeet style cocktail party attended by the couple’s closest family members and friends. The newlyweds shared photos from the event on social media.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Afterwards, they took to Instagram to express their gratitude, writing: “We didn’t realize the impact a simple wedding at a temple would have on people around the world looking for hope. There is no secret to acceptance, tolerance, or happiness. You just have to find the right partner to take the step with. Let the truth of your love speak for itself. Love, Amit & Adi.”

Please do not refer to these grooms as twinning. That is gross, and on top of that they don’t look anything alike. You’re just being racist.

Right! They literally look nothing alike! Having similar facial hair or even dressing alike as grooms does not alter their actual features, which anyone with eyes can see are completely different! It’s just lazy to behave as if they look alike let alone “twins!” -Did the writer actually look at their faces before writing this!

why in HELL would you refer to a wedding ceremony as “twinning”?!?! Dumbest thing ever. Are they brothers? Such a stupid post.

These chaps are almost annoyingly handsome! Good for them for marrying. Hope they’re as happy together as they are cute.

Beautiful men, so moving to see their mothers supporting them and all the family and friends at their wedding, and congrats to both of them. They aren’t “twins” in any way, though.
