Wedding photos of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachan

Bollywood's most anticipated wedding was finally formalised today (April 20). Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai and Bollywood heartthrob Abhishek Bachchan are now officially husband and wife.

The two stars exchanged nuptial vows at a colourful but extremely private ceremony today. Abhishek (31) and Aishwarya (33) entered into wedlock in a north Indian style ceremony with the golden couple exchanging garlands at Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan's family home "Prateeksha" in Mumbai.

Abhishek set off on a short journey from his suburban residence Jalsa to fetch his bride Aishwarya Rai, marking the start of their elaborate wedding. The traditional 'baraat' started at around 5 pm with Abhishek riding a colourfully decorated white horse and his nephew Agastya -- his sister Shweta Nanda's son -- sitting in front of him.
