- By Our Correspond­ent

Balle balle... balle balle...! Bollywood had their dancing shoes on pretty much all throughout this year because who do shaadi dance better than Bollywood stars themselves? The big fat Bollywood weddings that we all have seen on the big screen spilled over into our lives this year courtesy, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja and many more. Trust us when we say this that the list is long. 2018 has truly been a year of celeb weddings with not only Bollywood stars getting married but also TV celebs opting for extravagan­t shaadi festivitie­s. Here's the best photos from the celeb wedding albums of 2018 for you. You're welcome.

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh:

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh had an intimate wedding at Italy's Lake Como in November, after which they rocked Mumbai and Bengaluru with their blockbuste­r wedding receptions. Deepika and Ranveer, who maintained a strict no-photos policy at the Villa del Balbianell­o in Italy, treated us to their wedding album after touching down in Mumbai. They had a Konkani wedding on November 14, which was followed by a North Indian shaadi on November 15. They hosted three wedding receptions in India - one in Bengaluru (Deepika's hometown) on November 21 and two in Mumbai on November 28 and December 1 respective­ly.

Priyanka Chopra And Nick Jonas:

Deepika and Ranveer's wedding festivitie­s partially coincided with those of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. The couple also had two wedding ceremonies, the first of which was the Christian wedding on December 1, when both families joined the bride and groom in Ralph Lauren outfits. Priyanka and Nick had a traditiona­l North Indian wedding on December 2, at which they wore Sabyasachi. Priyanka's wedding ceremonies and the prewedding functions were in Jodhpur in the presence of just close friends and family. Priyanka and Nick also

released selected photos from their wedding on social media. Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended their wedding reception in Delhi. The couple hosted another one in Mumbai on December 19 for friends and family.

Sonam Kapoor And Anand Ahuja:

Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja had a true blue Punjabi wedding in Mumbai on May 8 with band baaja baarat that got Mumbai talking for days. Delhibased entreprene­ur Anand danced with Bollywood's biggest names not just at the star-studded reception but also at the mehendi ceremony and sangeet parties. Sonam and Anand married in an Anand Karaj on the morning of May 8 and hosted the wedding reception on the same evening. Anand, who owns a sneaker brand named VegNonVeg, wore a pair to his own wedding receptions­etting the trend for Deepika Padukone who also kicked off her heels to dance at her Bollywood reception in trainers.

Neha Dhupia And Angad Bedi:

Just two days after Sonam's shaadi, Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi had a hush hush wedding at a Delhi gurudwara in the presence of close family members. Karan Johar was the first celebrity to congratula­te the couple on social media. At that point it was speculated that the couple had a rushed wedding because of Neha's then unconfirme­d pregnancy. But it was only much later that they made the pregnancy announceme­nt and revealed in interviews that the previous speculatio­n was actually true. Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi welcomed a baby girl in November, who they've named Mehr Dhupia Bedi.

Milind Soman And Ankita Konwar:

Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar zeroed in on Alibaug as their destinatio­n wedding, which was perhaps the cutest wedding ever. Ahead of their wedding, eyebrows were raised citing the fact that Ankita is several years younger than the 53-year-old actor-model. Milind and Ankita had a Maharashtr­ian wedding on April 22. Ankita, who is from Assam, was a traditiona­l Assamese bride for the ceremony. The couple also had a "barefoot wedding" later in July, which Ankita described as: "The barefoot wedding we always wanted in the woods with the beautiful family."

Kapil Sharma And Ginni Chatrath:

The year 2018 also saw several TV celebs heading to the mandap. Actorcomed­ian Kapil Sharma married his long-time girlfriend Ginni Chatrath in Jalandhar on December 13 in a Hindu ceremony. It was followed by an Anand Karaj, also reportedly in Jalandhar, the following day. Kapil Sharma shared photos from both his wedding ceremonies on Instagram. Kapil and Ginni's wedding festivitie­s were attended by his colleagues Sumona Chakravart­i, Krushna Abhishek, Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiya­a.
