From our Maharani, Priyanka :


Sachin and I grew up in Houston, attended the University of Texas during the same years, yet we met in Los Angeles through some mutual friends.  I so was relieved that I didn’t have to root for another college football team….this was true love!  Since we have such strong Texas roots, we decided to hold the wedding in Houston.   It was a summer wedding because there was no way we could get married during football season. 


Being the eldest in our large families, we knew our parents’ desires were to have a very traditional wedding so we respected their wishes but also agreed to add special touches that were important and reflected us.  We also faced the challenge of a guest list of 600 people as we both come from very large families and social circles since both parents have been in Houston for 30+ years.  With this in mind, we made choices about what components of a wedding were important to us.   


We are just getting warmed up…sit tight!
