#DreamTeam – Everyone Who Made The Virushka Wedding The Biggest Event Of The Year!

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma broke the internet with the news of their marriage four days ago. They not only restored our faith in love, but also proved that it is possible to have your dream wedding ceremony, far away from the prying eyes of the media. Their Tuscany wedding looked straight out of a Pinterest board and no matter how hard we try, we keep going back to steal a glance. But behind the biggest wedding of the year was a team of experts who worked tirelessly (& secretly!) to weave the perfect Tuscany fairytale. They were the real magicians and here’s a look at the #DreamTeam who made it happen!
