Bollywood diva Sonam Kapoor got hitched to longtime beau Anand Ahuja on May 8 in Mumbai. While mehendi, sangeet and the wedding day were a family affair, the reception was a star-studded evening. Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra were among the attendees.
However, many Bollywood actors, who were Sonam's best friends once, gave the wedding a miss. Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone didn't attend the ceremony due to their work. Anushka is busy shooting movies and cheering her husband Virat Kohli during IPL matches, while Deepika is at Cannes for the film festival.
Sonam's wedding was a big fashion parade, which was nothing lesser than an award ceremony. Several celebrities posted adorable pictures of the couple on social media and many of them wished the lovebirds as well.
Priyanka Chopra, who also didn't attend the wedding, took to Twitter to wish Sonam and Anand. Shah Rukh, Katrina, Anushka and Riteish Deshmukh are among the stars who posted wishes on social media.
Take a look here:

Sonam Kapoor thanked most of these adorable wishes by celebs on social media.
Bollywood couples, exes at Sonam-Anand's wedding
The "Aisha" actress had a dream wedding, which witnessed many B-Town couples, exes, and rumored lovebirds. Aishwarya Rai-Abhishek Bachchan, Twinkle Khanna-Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor-Saif Ali Khan, Shah Rukh Khan-Gauri and Shahid Kapoor-Mira Rajput were among the married couples who looked adorable at the wedding reception.
The pairs, who grabbed attention, were Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan-Natasha Dalal. Exes of Ranbir and Alia -- Katrina and Sidharth Malhotra -- came at the reception without any company. Rumors of the "Raazi" actress and the Kapoor lad dating have been doing the rounds for a long time. Did this appearance of the duo together make it official?
Katrina, on the other hand, looked quite happy in the company of Salman Khan, who is also her ex. However, last year, they appeared together in the movie, "Tiger Zinda Hai."
Sonam and Anand's first Instagram move after marriage
The duo has been quiet about their affair since the beginning. Though Anand posted many photos of him and Sonam on social media, the diva always maintained silence about it.
However, post-wedding, Sonam made the first move on social media to declare her marriage. She changed her surname on all the social media platforms. The actress made it "Sonam K Ahuja".
Later, Anand too made his move by posting a picture of their footwear from the reception. And, Sonam liked the post and commented: "Our dancing."
