A friend of ours asked if he would be willing to help shoot a wedding here in town. We have actually spent a little bit of time with the bride and groom, so thought it would be a neat experience.

It was such a unique and beautiful ceremony, combining two different cultures. The bride is an American and the groom is Indian. The bride comes from a believing background, while the groom is a first generation Hindu background believer. Some of the music would have sounded familiar to the Western ear, while most was in Hindi. Some of the ceremony was in English, while the vows were in Hindi. The bride wore traditional Indian attire with a beautiful white veil. It was just really neat to see the merging of two cultures we love so dearly.
We enjoyed the ceremony and the reception that followed with lots of yummy Indian food.
Another memory made in this colorful place.
