TV actress Srijita De and her husband, Michael Blohm, are going to have a traditional Bengali wedding in Goa on November 10. This marriage is taking place one and a half year after their marriage according to German customs. While talking to Dainik Bhaskar, Srijita told about the preparations and excitement for her wedding.
After getting married as per German customs, why did you think of getting married as per Bengali customs in Goa? Regarding this, Srijita said, 'Actually, we had thought of this in the beginning itself when we did the white wedding. At that point we knew we would get married in both cultures. We were very clear about this that we do not want to do fusion.
Srijita further said, 'I like German tradition and culture. At the same time, I love the Bengali way of becoming a bride, like the crown that we wear. This whole Bengali side, this was my dream since childhood. So Michael said, let's not do fusion and we should give a chance to both cultures. We had already planned to have a Bengali wedding in Goa in November last year. But due to work and commitments, this marriage kept getting postponed again and again. Now all the family members can come this November. Michael's family is visiting from Canada and friends are visiting from Germany. Now everyone's schedule has been finalized, so the wedding has been fixed for November 2024. We respect both traditions. That's why we decided to have another marriage.
Why chose Goa for marriage? The actress said, 'We love Goa very much. Goa has become very special for us since we were stuck there during the lockdown. We stayed there for seven months and we loved being with each other. Staying in Goa during lockdown was very special. Every year we go there at least three-four times. That place is very special for us.

The wedding function of Sreejita and Michael will last for two days. All the guests will arrive in the morning on 9th November and will be welcomed. After this, there will be lunch and Mehndi program, which will last for 2-3 hours. There will be a musical program at 7:00 pm.
On 10th November, there will be Haldi in the morning, then the wedding ceremony at 4:00 pm followed by the reception. Everyone will go back the next day.
guest list
The couple has made a guest list of around 50-55 people. Sreejita said, 'We all want to enjoy this function to the fullest. Usually everyone has fun at weddings, except the bride and groom. We want close friends and family to be with us. Some people won't be able to come, and since it's a destination wedding, we didn't want a crowd.
