11:12 AM vivek all set to marry on friday

28-year-old Priyanka Alva kept her first karva chauth for the Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi. At 6.10 p.m, Vivek told TOI from Bangalore, "I'm in the karva chauth puja. The shaadi, on Friday, is just three days away and I'm delirious." Priyanka is the daughter of the late Janta Dal politician from Karnataka, Jeevraj Alva, and Nandini Alva. She is a business graduate from London, a keen social activist and a lover of the arts. Both Priyanka and Vivek are Kshatriyas and carrying a sword on the wedding day is mandatory. Priyanka sourced out a special sword for her husband-to-be. It is a heavy one for which designer Tarun Tahiliani is crafting an embroidered sheath with precious stones. Says Tarun, "The idea is to make Vivek look like a maharaja." Vivek's outfit for the baraat will be a deep maroon heavy brocade affair with some royal imagery. Beneath it, the actor will wear an A-line kurta of the finest material that will help him move easily as he climbs the mare (ghodi) and jumps down from it. Tarun, who is also making the wedding outfit for the bride, says, "Priyanka, since she is marrying a Punjabi, will wear a lehenga with 14 different colours on the panels; almost like a Persian carpet. The lehenga that will have a peacock motif will be short in the front exposing her ankles, so the intricate mehndhi and payal can be seen. The bride will also wear an antique jewellery set of rubies set in gold, an heirloom." BT also found out that the Bangalore house where the wedding will be held has 60 palm trees which will be lit to herald Diwali. "The ambience is truely classic and traditional," says a family member. An excited Vivek admitted, "I'm excited and truly happy. I describe this as being the happiest week of my entire life." On October 31, the Oberois will hosting a reception for Bollywood and close friends at a five-star hotel in Mumbai; 1,800 large scented candles will decorate the venue, as will 800 pink Thai lotuses and 30,000 strings of rajnigandha gajras, specially brought in from Kerala. Even as he enters a new phase in his personal life, Vivek will dub for Rakht Charitra 2, the morning after the wedding. And Priyanka will see him off at the door. Check out Vivek Oberoi's homepage
