The ceremony will be small but beautiful," the daily quoted him as saying.

A Surprise Wedding Theme
She says, "I want to keep the theme a surprise so I won't reveal what it is yet, but it will be truly special," says Bunty, adding, "Every girl dreams about her wedding day and wants it to be perfect and Miheeka is no different. As her mother, I'm trying everything I can to make it special for her. I have one or two surprises in store for her and I can't wait to see her reaction on the D-Day."
