From the bride, on the first dance:

"We wanted to include our siblings in a special way at some point during the wedding. Our first dance song was "Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now" by Joss Stone.  We thought this would be a good place to incorporate them. So we added the song "Teach Me How to Dougie" to our first dance and had our siblings dance along with us to the song."

Enjoy the rest of your day, ladies!

From the bride, on the wedding style:

"I am Persian, and Vinay is Gujarati. Both of us come from such rich and unique cultures that it quickly became clear to us that we would want to give each tradition the time and attention it deserves. Rather than try to fuse the two, we decided to have two separate ceremonies on two different days. Doing so gave us the opportunity to have multiple color palettes that reflect taste and vision....I had grown up imagining the big, white dress and veil, what the Sofreh Aghd of my Persian ceremony would look like, what songs would play, and anything else you can imagine. I loved working with my mom to handcraft all the props we used for the ceremony. My sister performed the ceremony, which made it even extra special!"

On family helping:

"My mom and sister were instrumental in making the Persian ceremony happen. I think mom was on the Internet looking at photos even more than I was! She helped me handcraft all of the props we used for the Sofreh. My sister had the enormous task of officiating the ceremony. Our guests were amazed at her poise and delivery of every part of the ceremony. My grandfather even wrote a poem for us, which he read as a part of the ceremony!"

What a gorgeous ceremony & reception! Make sure to check out their traditional Indian ceremony on the main blog if you haven't done so already! See you next time, dolls!
