With never-ending media glare on their wedding, actors Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia have apparently made a few alterations in their wedding plans! They have decided to make their wedding a very private affair, moving away from an opulent public marriage ceremony.

According to sources, the wedding will be a private affair and only people close to both Deshmukh and D’Souza families will be invited. There will be a reception bash however efforts are being made to tone down the budget.

“Right now, both the families have agreed that they don’t want a very public wedding and that the guest list will be kept limited. The wedding, as the couple wants, should be kept limited to 1,000 people and not more than that. Considering the clout of the Deshmukh family, it is a very low figure. However, there will be separate invites sent out for separate functions,” a source said. Source

After 7 years of courtship and constant denial in the media, Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’souza have finally accepted that they are in love and are all set to get married some time next year.

News had been doing the rounds that the couple will be getting married in February 2012 as wedding preparations are underway in the Deshmukh household, but it turned out that Ritiesh’s brother Deeraj was the groom to be.

But another wedding is definitely on the cards for the Deshmukh family, but the dates are yet to be finalised.

In an interview to a leading daily, Riteish spilled the beans about his relationship and the fact that both families knew about it and had given their blessings.

Well what can we say except that we are indeed happy for the couple and we wish them a wonderful life ahead! Source
