```text
Use the uploaded couple photo as the face reference. Keep both people's faces, features, skin tones and expressions exactly as in the uploaded photo, with their real height difference; do not beautify or merge their faces. She wears a peacock-blue Paithani-border nauvari saree with a green blouse, a nath, a thushi necklace and green glass bangles; he sits on a low wooden pat in a cream kurta and a red-gold pheta. She waves a silver aukshan plate with a ghee diya, rice and kumkum before his face as he smiles up at her, a gift box in his hands. Behind them, a lit akash kandil and a sanskar-bharti rangoli on the floor. Warm 2200K diya light and a soft window fill. 50mm f/1.8, eye level, affectionate candid moment, warm natural grade. Photorealistic, real-camera look: visible skin texture and pores, natural catchlights, accurate hands, crisp textile detail, no airbrushing, no cartoon look, no logos or watermark. Aspect ratio 4:5.
```
