[FONT=open_sansregular]The bride wore a pale pink saree and the groom wore a cream sherwani. Rajiv Gandhi was all of 23 when he married Sonia Maino, 21, in a private ceremony attended by select few at the back lawns of 1 Safdarjung Road on 25th February 1968.[/FONT]
[FONT=open_sansregular]This old video documents some parts of the wedding. Rajvi and Sonia Gandhi are almost unrecognisable and the video also shows Indira Gandhi playing the perfect host along with Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit (Indira Gandhi's aunt). The video also has a young Sanjay Gandhi and the then President Of India Zakir Hussain.[/FONT]

According Rashid Kidwai's book on Sonia Gandhi, The wedding took place on the back lawns of 1 Safdarjung Road after a brief mehendi ceremony at the Bachchans’. "The civil marriage was a simple affair. Rajiv wore a cream silk Patiala achkan and chooridars with a pink Bharatpuri turban while Sonia wore a pale pink khadi sari without much jewellery. In keeping with Kashmiri traditions, Sonia wore floral jewellery—jasmine garlands tied on her ankles, wrists and neck. Sanjay, like Rajiv’s cousins, wore a pink turban and cream-coloured achkan. There was only light refreshment at the wedding. In the evening, however, there was a lavish dinner at Hyderabad House, off India Gate, where official banquets are held, to which about two hundred and fiery guests were invited. The guests were seated on the floor and served a sumptuous Kashmiri banquet. A day later, Indira hosted a reception at the Ashok Hotel at which choice Parsi, Kashmiri and Italian cuisines were served to the one thousand invitees," states the book.[/FONT]
