From the bride, on help from family and friends:

"This wedding would not have happened without my family! It really brought out the best in everyone. I am still overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation for everything they did. My siblings and cousins made all the centerpieces for both the shaadi and the mehndi nights (my favorite was the elephant picture holders with childhood photos of my husband and myself). One of my cousins did my makeup & hair for the mehndi night and another brought me food at 3 am the night before the wedding because I was craving it! My mom and dad also worked so hard to make sure everything was wonderful and coordinated. I didn't even need a wedding planner because they had it under control the whole time which was so comforting to know. And these are just to name a few things, they did so much! My family is full of amazing people."

On the first dance:

"Due to time constraints, we couldn't fit in a formal first dance during the wedding. Our amazing photographers, however, made it happen! They took us to Crystal City Water Park for a pre-wedding photo shoot. Upon hearing about the first dance dilemma, they asked us what our song was and played it on their phone so we could have our dance in the middle of the park. It was perfect. Our song was "Jhoom" by Ali Zafar."

Have a wonderful day, ladies!
