Cocktail Party?

The wedding was set up to be in a beautiful

Murugan temple in Maryland, which was a quiet a

drive from our house in Virginia. There was major

coordination that had to take place in order to get

everything over to the venue. All of the family and

friends decided to drive the night before and make

it into a pre-party for welcoming the groom’s side

coordinated. The Wedding

After the hype of the events, the day had finally arrived to

give the bride the day she had always wanted – it was a

beautiful morning and the bride was glowing. She was in a

beautiful blue saree and then changed into a forest green

saree. She was a sight to see - truly an elegant bride. There

will always be hiccups but after 15 years that’s not what I

remember. What I cherish is the families and friends that
