On May 20, singer Kanika Kapoor celebrated one of the most important moments of her life.
The gorgeous singer, who's been a single mother to three children -- Aayana, Samara, and Yuvraaj -- after her first marriage did not work, tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in London.
Her husband, Gautam Hathiramani, is an NRI businessman.
Kanika first hit the limelight with the Meet Bros song, Baby Doll, which Sunny Leone danced to in the movie, Ragini MMS 2.
Her latest song, Oo bolega ya oo oo bolega, picturised on the lovely Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the recently released Pushpa, has been a super hit

Kanika Kapoor was a beautiful bride in a pastel pink Manish Malhotra lehenga; Gautam Hathiramani, who wore a white sherwani, couldn't have been happier.
Kanika's bridal jewellery included a double-layered pearl necklace studded with rubies, a gemstone choker with matching jhumkas, a maang tikka, gold bangles and the mandatory kaleeras.

Kanika writes, 'And I said YES.
'Fairy tales can happen to you, just never stop believing in them.
'Dream because one day those dreams do come true.
'I found my prince, I found my co-star. So grateful to the universe in making us meet.
'Excited to start our journey together; to grow old with you, to love you and learn with you. But most important to laugh with you.
'Thank you for making me smile every day. My best friend, my partner and my hero.'
