How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
I met Jonathan on a cold January day. I had driven from Boston to Michigan for a medical school interview. I saw a quiet man sitting alone and immediately thought to myself that I would definitely shine next to him. We ended up both getting accepted to the same medical school,l and the rest is history.

I was raised in a traditional Gujarati household and never thought I would fall in love with a Taiwanese Michigander. On the surface, there were significant cultural differences but when I got to know Jonathan more, I realized that an individual's cultural and religious background does not matter as much as their personality. The more I got to know Jonathan, the more I realized that we had a lot in common with similar upbringings. I knew Jonathan was the one when he flew to Boston to meet my parents and promised them that he would do anything to keep me happy for the rest of his life.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Jonathan knew I always loved a romantic picnic but we never had much time as we were in a long-distance relationship. One of of our trips to San Diego, Jonathan drove me to one of our favorite locations, Torrey Pines, for a picnic. He had all my favorite snacks, which basically make up a charcuterie board. In true Jonathan fashion, he asked me to pose for a picture facing the water and when I turned around, he was down on one knee!

I honestly cannot tell you what he said next because I immediately started crying. The next few moments were such a blur but the perfect start to our forever.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Food tasting has to be the best part of any planning process. We have always bonded on their love for food. We both love trying new cuisines and making Indian and Asian delicacies. The best part of wedding planning was creating a fusion menu that highlighted our favorite meals growing up. It was so fun to work with the chef and create fun dessert flavors and a cocktail menu. As two doctors in vastly different medical fields, we knew they HAD to have nerdy cocktail names. I am a cardiologist who thrives in the chaos of an ICU, whereas Jonathan is an ophthalmologist who enjoys the routine in his clinic. Their specialty drinks were called Code Blue and Pink Eye.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
One thing we have constantly heard from our guests was how special they felt. They received constant communication from our planners and did not have to worry about getting to and fro the wedding venues. They felt like the wedding was very intimate even though the guest size was ~140 guests.

Despite all the traditional aspects of the wedding, they felt very included and enjoyed being involved. They loved how much our families danced and wanted everyone to be on the dance floor at all times. Lastly, we have heard from sooo many people that the food was incredible. Everything from the traditional Gujarati srikhand to the indo-Chinese was top-notch and one of theri best wedding meals.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Growing up, every girl dreams of their wedding day. I was raised in Gujarat and had always thought I would get married in the traditional manner somewhere in India. Never in a million years did I think I would be having not one but two wedding ceremonies on a beach surrounded by our loved ones. I could not have imagined having a fusion wedding that equally celebrated and respected Krina and Jonathan's upbringing.

One of my favorite moments was walking down to the beach for our first look. Jonathan was waiting by the beach. I could hear him holding his breath as he heard me getting closer. Seeing each other that morning made it all real. Through the tears, we looked at each other and knew that we had made it.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Remember to eat. Indian weddings are long and stressful. I did not sleep until probably midnight after our Sangeet and had to be up at 3:30 for hair and makeup. I had no appetite and did not eat a big breakfast prior to getting into my wedding outfit. my lehnga weighed >40 lbs and I was minutes from passing out before my entrance towards the mandap. My advise-EAT and stay hydrated!

Despite all the planning, things will go wrong, and things will happen out of your control. Your loved ones will spend more time on ceremonies that may not be as important to you. Remember that this may be your wedding, but it also is a very important day for your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and wedding party. Let them celebrate you!

Plan your hair and makeup trial on a humid/hot day and keep it on for the rest of the day. This way, you can prepare for the worst and see what adjustments need to be made. During my makeup trial, it incidentally happened to be a rainy day. I noticed that my undereye makeup got very cakey in the humidity. I spent the next few months finding a primer and setting powder that worked for my skin, and my makeup was truly flawless.

This Riviera Maya celebration was a true testament to love crossing all boundaries.

Valant, PA Indian Wedding by Holly Ferencuha Photography

It is a tranquil lakeside venue, shimmering with the golden hues of sunset. Willowbrook Weddings in Valant, PA, provided the idyllic backdrop for Kaajal & Katy's celebration of love. This Indian LGBTQ+ wedding was not just a union but a jubilant fusion of tradition, modernity, and unapologetic joy that left everyone spellbound.

Kaajal & Katy's wedding was a breath of fresh air—literally and metaphorically. The couple's first look was nothing short of cinematic. Nestled under the cascading branches of a weeping willow, Katy turned to see Kaajal adorned in a stunning white and gold lehenga with intricate pink floral embroidery by Nazrana Anj. The moment was magic, a perfect mix of serenity and excitement. With delicate lace detailing, Katy's MB Bride gown complemented Kaajal's ensemble—a flawless pairing, much like the two brides themselves.

Their ceremony, set by the lake, combined heartfelt vows with a gorgeous floral mandap and Katy's bouquet crafted by Teton Wood Blooms. With the soft rustling of leaves and the occasional cheer from a delighted guest, Kaajal & Katy's union became the talk of Valant.

When you hear DJ Desibeatzs Entertainment, you'd better be ready to dance. The reception was a rhythmic whirlwind, with Desibeatzs masterfully blending Bollywood beats with Top 40 hits. From the newlyweds' first dance to their impromptu Bhangra performance, the night was an electrifying celebration of their diverse cultural backgrounds.

Holly Ferencuha Photography captured every candid laugh, every shared glance, and every tear of joy. The photos radiate warmth and authenticity, from the serene outdoor shots by the lake to the energetic dance floor snaps. And speaking of authentic moments, can we take a second to appreciate Katy's bold tattoo juxtaposed with her delicate lace gown? Absolute bridal goals.

Kaajal's bridal jewelry from Nazrana Anj Jewels was a dazzling nod to her Indian heritage. Wanderlust Beauty PGH and ZZbeauty PGH ensured both brides looked radiant, weaving together timeless elegance and contemporary flair. The wedding rings from Henne Jewelers symbolized a promise as enduring as the love that Kaajal & Katy share.

How did you meet your Wife and when did you know she was "the one"?
My wife and I met on Hinge and spoke on the phone the first night we started messaging. We met the very next day, and within 1 week, we knew we had met our person.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We were on a trip to Cancun, Mexico and I wanted to propose to Katy on the beach but I wanted it to be captured. I planned for a photography session, and when we made it to the beach, I proposed and it's all caught on camera!

Katy later proposed to me on a hotel rooftop, which completely caught me by surprise. It was raining a little, but she got clear umbrellas and it turned out perfectly. She even surprised me with my best friends being there!

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We started with our venue and very quickly found Willowbrook, with which we were immensely impressed. Everything else came along slowly, with the most difficult being hair and makeup. Of course, you want to look your absolute best, so finding the perfect people for the job was huge. We wanted our color theme to be based on my Indian outfit, as Katy's dress was going to be white, so finding my outfit early on was important. We traveled to New Jersey to make that happen so that we had more options!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
We traveled to New Jersey to allow for more options and only went to a couple of stores before finding the perfect lengha. I tried on a few different ones, but once I put on that dress, it was clear. For Katy's dress, we went to a store in Pittsburgh where she tried on a few dresses and finally found the perfect one! We went together to both stores-- it meant a lot to us to be able to do this together.

Q. What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The guests absolutely loved our dhol players and DJ. They loved the fun and atmosphere that was created. The venue stood out to a lot of our guests as the grounds are also beautiful there.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Our entrance to the reception replays in my mind as there was so much energy and excitement throughout the venue. It was just so fun, and the DJ and dhol players truly made our night! We were so happy, and everyone was celebrating us. It felt incredible.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
I would say that it is so important to do things the way you want them to be together. The whole process can be tiresome, but these details are what matters in the end, and being able to choose these things together is such a special time. Go with your heart and enjoy each moment of the day itself.

This wedding celebrated love in its purest form—inclusive, joyous, and utterly beautiful.

Tamil Nadu, IN Indian Wedding by Magic Motion Media

If love were a tapestry, Sima & Arun’s wedding at the opulent Leela Palace Chennai was the masterpiece you’d see hanging in a museum, drawing gasps of awe. Set against Chennai’s coastal charm, their Indian wedding unfolded like a Bollywood blockbuster, with vibrant colors, heartfelt moments, and jaw-dropping style.

Sima walked into her wedding ceremony draped in a breathtaking red-and-gold silk saree from Sari Palace, shimmering with every intricate weave. Her jewelry, a stunning collection from The Bling Bag, added that regal flair we all secretly hope to achieve when trying on earrings in the mirror. Equally dashing, Arun matched her elegance in a cream-and-gold sherwani from Sari Palace, proving that modern-day maharajas exist.

Stepping into the venue felt like walking into a royal palace. The team at Marriage Colours transformed the stunning Leela Palace into a wonderland of Indian opulence. The mandap, adorned with marigolds and white jasmine, was a floral fantasy that perfectly captured the essence of Chennai’s vibrant traditions. The aisle? A pathway of red roses and golden lanterns set the stage for a regal entrance.

The pre-wedding festivities were a riot of joy, laughter, and colors. Sima’s Haldi and Mehndi outfits from Dreams Collections were a perfect mix of tradition and trend. No wedding look is complete without the ideal touch of artistry, and Beauty by Lishma delivered nothing short of perfection for Sima’s big day. Renowned for enhancing natural beauty while creating a glamorous glow, Lishma worked her magic with impeccable skill and precision. Sima’s bridal look for the ceremony featured radiant, dewy skin, softly defined eyes and a bold red lip that complemented her traditional red-and-gold attire.

What truly set Sima & Arun’s wedding apart was the breathtaking highlight reel crafted by Magic Motion Media. This cinematic masterpiece transported guests into their love story, weaving together candid moments, heartfelt vows, and glimpses of their joyous celebrations. From their playful exchanges during the haldi ceremony to the romantic glow of their beach proposal, every frame was a perfect blend of raw emotion and artistry.

This wedding was a testament to love, culture, and impeccable taste.
