Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Kapoor shared pictures on their wedding on social media. The newly-wed couple shared the pictures on their Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Deepika and Ranveer tied the knot in Italy on Wednesday and the world was waiting for the first pictures from the wedding ceremony.

The Bollywood couple will reportedly host not one but three wedding receptions. One of these will take place on November 21 in Bangalore and the other two at Grand Hyatt on November 28 and December 1.

Karan Johar, who was the first celebrity to congratulate Deepika and Ranveer on their wedding yesterday, sent out best wishes to the couple on Twitter. Anushka Sharma, who co-starred with Ranveer in his Bollywood debut Band Baaja Baaraat, welcomed the couple to the “club”. Arjun Kapoor, who co-starred with Ranveer in Gunday, also congratulated the newly-weds. Wishes also poured in from Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Parineeti Chopra and others:

Yesterday, Deepika and Ranveer married in a traditional South Indian ceremony – per Konkani rituals, reports news agency ANI – after which grainy paparazzi pictures and some footage of the wedding party went viral. Apart from Karan Johar, others from Bollywood posted congratulatory messages on Twitter. A second wedding per Sindhi rituals was held today.
