Greetings, dolls! I've got a gorgeous treat for you today! Monika Gauthier Photography & Design brings us this beautiful Palm Beach wedding, featuring one of the most adorable Maharanis you'll ever see. Let's check out these great shots of her as she gets ready for her pre-wedding ceremony. Her hair and makeup are perfect, and all the little (but super important!) details from her bangles to her mehndi and bejeweled braid are just phenomenal. So much more to see from this impressive event. If you're feeling impatient, check out the full gallery for a peek at what's to come.

The bride on how she met her Raja:

"Brian and I have actually known each other since the 6th grade. We went to the same middle school, high school, and college. We became best friends in high school and were even together for a little while but when that didn't work out, our friendship suffered. Fast forward to four years later during our senior year at UF: we got in touch with each other, became best friends again, and realized that we were just perfect for each other. There was no "one moment" when I realized he was the one, just endless moments of laughter and love that made me realize I felt happiest when I was with him."

On honoring her husband-to-be's heritage:

"Even though we were having an Indian wedding, it was important to me to keep Brian's family's culture and heritage part of the wedding, even in the smallest way. My way of doing that was by including a shamrock (for my mother-in-law's Irish heritage) and the Star of David (for my father-in-law's Jewish religion) in my mehndi. It wasn't the biggest gesture but it made me happy to carry his family's heritage with me during the whole wedding."
