How One Couple Turned a Bollywood-Style Love Story Into a Vegan Fairytale

Mishi Jain and Sunny Shah's love story began at a wedding in Alabama and blossomed into a deep connection fueled by shared Jain values of nonviolence and veganism. Their commitment to ethics and compassion led to the planning of a vegan wedding in Udaipur, India, which was the first completely vegan wedding ever known in Rajasthan. The five-event celebration was a blend of tradition and modern ethics, featuring faux flower arrangements, equal support from both sets of parents, and a focus on community.

The couple's vegan wedding showcased the diversity and flavor of plant-based cuisine, challenging stereotypes and proving that culture, family, and ethics can coexist beautifully. From sourcing vegan attire to working closely with caterers to reinvent dairy-heavy classics, Mishi and Sunny's wedding demonstrated that tradition and innovation can go hand in hand. The couple's commitment to a vegan lifestyle not only shaped their wedding but also inspired their vegan food blog and Instagram project, @plantbasedpyaar, to share their message with others.
