Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech took everyone by surprise by announcing about their engagement. The love birds exchanged rings last November in Bali. Since then fans and media have been behind this adorable couple to know about their wedding date, other related ceremonies, guests list and yes their honeymoon destination as well. The countdown of the much-awaited wedding has begun and preparations are in full swing. Yuvi and Hazel will take their relationship to the next level on November 30 in Chandigarh. Recently Yuvi’s mommy Shabnam Singh said that they don’t wish to reveal much detail about venue and other things related to the ceremony as they don’t want media and fans to reach there. So people who thought that it would be a big fat Indian wedding, Yuvi-Hazel might just change how celeb marriages happen in India.

All are expecting that Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech’s wedding would be a big fat Indian wedding. But it’s not going to be so. Instead it’ll be low-key affair. Yep, we know that this particular piece of information is little hard to believe. You might now think because the couple has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi it might be untrue. But the revelation has been made by Yuvi’s dad Yograj Singh. The former cricketer who is super excited about his son’s wedding revealed the details in an interview to a leading tabloid.

Guests List

On this simple wedding, Yograj Singh said that his son Yuvraj Singh and his fiancee Hazel Keech never wanted a big fat wedding. Mid-Day quoted the former sportsman saying, “The wedding will see a small number of 60 guests, which includes his son’s close friends, family and colleagues from the Indian cricket team.” (ALSO READ: Will demonetisation impact Yuvraj Singh-Hazel Keech’s wedding?)

Wedding Expense

Many of them think that more the expense, the lavish it would be. But everyone does not believe in doing such kind of things that includes our celebs Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech as well. On this Yuvi’s dad said, “It would’ve pinched us if we were doing something grand. We, as a family, have always believed in simplicity. In a country where a majority of the population lives in abject poverty, people should spend reasonably at weddings. It is better to make donations to charitable organisations on your wedding day, instead of wasting large amounts on lavish parties. Yuvraj does not want to do fizool kharch.”

Ceremonies on the D-day

Mostly celebrities conduct mehendi and sangeet a day before the wedding with some amazing theme and well-planned performances. But that isn’t the same in case of Yuvi-Hazel’s wedding ceremonies. Yograj Singh says, “We are holding the sangeet, mehendi and reception on the same day, followed by a gurudwara shaadi, after which we will take Hazel for ‘darshan’ of our guru Baba Deep Singh Ji.” (ALSO READ: Yuvraj Singh-Hazel Keech wedding: Shabnam Singh wants her tomboy ‘bahu’ to look like a lady)

Yograj Singh’s thought on marriage and soon-to-be bahu Hazel Keech

The proud dad says, “Marriage is about two people and there should be no scope for a third person. Relatives destroy relationships and I want these kids to know that they don’t have to let anyone have access to what they share. Hazel is a mature girl. She has grown up in a joint family, and all she wants from us is love. I was recently hospitalised, and she and Yuvraj were by my side all week. My family finally looks complete with Hazel!”

We wish all the luck and love to the soon-to-be bride and groom! For more updates keep watching this space.
