It's just been a few hours since India's two-time Olympic star, Neeraj Chopra, announced the news of his wedding to former sportsperson Himani Mor in Himachal Pradesh. The intimate open-air ceremony, with greenery in the backdrop, looks like a family affair rather than a celebrity event, unlike many such functions. Neeraj, who has always been quite private about his personal life, did not reveal anything about his wedding venue or where the couple is headed for their honeymoon.
The sportsman was most recently in Prague in the Czech Republic and had shared quite a few pictures too from the beautiful country on his Instagram page. He has also mentioned Switzerland several times as his favourite holiday destination. Regardless, Neeraj and Himani's decision to have a private wedding at an Indian location is being hailed by many. 

Why get married in Himachal Pradesh
Many celebrities like Vikrant Massey, Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar, Vishal Karwal and Heena Suri have had their weddings in various scenic spots of Himachal Pradesh in the past. The state's reputation as a destination wedding hub is growing daily. It has numerous picturesque locations like Shimla, Dharamshala, Kasauli and Manali, which are popular among celebs and others as destination wedding spots. The best thing about the state is its venues that suit every budget, from eco-friendly premier properties to boutique hotels, suitable for intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. During summer, spring, and autumn, the climate in Himachal is charming and suitable for outdoor weddings.

Some couples are opting for unconventional weddings in Himachal Pradesh, too. Last year, a couple hailing from Gujarat and Kerala held a destination wedding at Himachal Pradesh's Morang near Spiti, at minus 25 degrees Celsius, at 12,500 feet. The event even made it to the India Book of LRecords as the 'Longest Road Trip wedding expedition.' Himani Mor has accumulated more than 200K search volume as per Google Trends in the past 11 hours.
