Sreejita De, celebrated for her performances on screen and for her recent stint on Bigg Boss 16, recently embraced the marital life once again by tying the knot with Michael Blohm-Pape. The couple chose to hold their wedding ceremony on November 10, 2024, at Goa, adopting traditional Bengali customs to make the occasion special.
Initially, the couple had celebrated their love with a Christian wedding last year in Germany. After enduring the chaotic years of the pandemic, Sreejita and Michael decided to express their union once more, this time by honoring Sreejita’s cultural heritage. The couple hosted several pre-wedding functions, including Mehendi and Haldi ceremonies, embracing the festive spirit before tying the knot for the second time.
The wedding itself was filled with breathtaking moments. Sreejita arrived at the venue on the elaborate decorated bike, symbolizing the cultural rituals associated with Bengali weddings. The bride danced her way to the mandap under the ‘phoolon ki chaadar,’ or blanket of flowers, creating a vivacious atmosphere. Michael mirrored the elegance of the day dressed impeccably for the occasion.
Social media platforms witnessed Sreejita share glimpses of her various wedding rituals, including the emotional Bidaai ceremony, where the bride takes leave of her family. “Cherished for life, taken forever...” she wrote, embodying the joy and love surrounding the nuptials.
On her special day, Sreejita transformed herself beautifully to reflect the quintessential Bengal bride look, draped gracefully in red and complemented by her husband’s ivory sherwani. Fans flooded her posts with congratulatory messages, celebrating the couple’s elaborate commitment to their respective traditions.
For pre-wedding festivities, Sreejita showcased her flair for fashion at every occasion. During the Haldi ceremony, she exhibited radiant looks paired with vibrant jewelry and chic accessories, embodying the essence of contemporary bridal style sitting on the traditional backdrop.
Meanwhile, her Mehendi attire was quite unconventional. Opting for color-blocked styles, she wore bright attire, pairing her look with quirky jewelry. Michael's matching ethnic wear elevated the charm of their celebration, highlighting their unity and love.
Reflecting on their decision to host the ceremony at Goa, Sreejita told ETimes, "We spent almost eight months together during the lockdown. We realized we didn’t need to go out or do anything elaborate to be happy; we were content just being together. Michael loves the Goan vibe, the food, the lifestyle, and we’re both beach people, so a beach wedding felt perfect." The couple felt truly at home among the relaxing coastal atmosphere and beautiful backdrop of Goa.
At the wedding, Sreejita’s pink lehenga stole the show with its bold floral details. It was exquisitely matched with embellishments and accessories, accentuated by her bridal bun, adorned hairs, and traditional shakha-pola bangles symbolizing her new marital status. Sreejita's renowned fashion sense was well-received and applauded by her fans both at the ceremony and across her social media handles.
Guests were also treated with sprawling floral arrangements and fairy lights illuminating the venue to create magical aesthetics. The couple shared romantic moments during their reception, gathered with family and friends amid the glowing decor.
Michael Blohm-Pape works diligently within the shipping sector and has been involved with Hapag-Lloyd AG, making considerable connections with India as well. His family appeared at the ceremony wearing traditional Bengali attire, showcasing the multicultural aspect of their wedding.
Commenting on their relationship dynamics, Sreejita emphasized during interviews how she values the support she garners from Michael—a quality she found lacking in previous relationships. The two have expressed plans to continue nurturing their careers, aiming at balancing their personal and professional lives.
The celebration of love didn't stop at the wedding; Sreejita and Michael have plans for intimate family receptions, which underline their commitment to weaving together both their cultures—and making unforgettable memories along the way. With the newlyweds embarking on this beautiful adventure together, their story reflects how love truly knows no boundaries.
With friends and fans eager to watch what the couple will do next, Sreejita's life continues to remain vibrant and colorful, encapsulating the rhythm of life, love, and the beauty of bringing diverse cultures together.
