I realize I haven’t really talked about the wedding here. I talked about the days ahead of wedding and about the honeymoon, but nothing about the wedding. And I bet you’re thinking “I feel totally curious!” and you should (maybe for those who love to snoop and gossip about it). But the only reason I’m not talking about it yet is because I was waiting for my photos and video footage of it. Furthermore, I have been trying to evoke the sweetest thing about the wedding and keep the memories alive. It brings me close to tears at times (just emotionally touched) as I missed every little bits and pieces of my wedding right up to my honeymoon.
Just 2 weeks after wedding, I received all my photographs (except video recording from my aunt’s video cam) and made up my mind not to go public to the world. I spent huge bucks on the photography for engagement ceremony, actual day, reception and also my pre-wedding photo shoot. It turned out so beautiful which will be engraved in our hearts forever. So, once I got hold of the portraits, I chose to just furnish a glimpse of it to my social network. Just a splash here and elsewhere and tell you what happened. And you will laugh and you will cringe and you will look forward to your next wedding where you are a bride/groom and to be sure to pose naturally for the camera. Not the fake up at the front in the overly fancy clothes. Lemme tell ya, its fun to get back all the pictures and sit in circles to watch and shoot comments for every single picture. Ha-ha!! Also to reminisce the little flaws and candid moments that articulated such an expression in each one of us. I must say I love the candid shots more than anything.
Let’s roll back to my wedding reminiscence, How did that happen?! What I really wanted to say was: yesterday I was glancing through the reception photographs and our first dance song came on across my mind, and it totally floored me with how much it shake me up. And I don’t even remember our first dance all that much! But that moment, it gets me to relive that second. All credits goes to Selva, our down-to-earth master of ceremony and Adel, the vivacious Salsa queen. They both coaxed us to do the first dance right after our grand walk down to the pre-cocktail lounge. The next thing, I was blinking nervously to both of them and mustered up my cluttered mind to tell them that I don’t know what kind of steps do we need to dance and for how long? Seeing my uneasiness, Adel and Selva pacify me that it is going to be very short and simple steps. A sudden joy sparkled in my eye saying, “Why don’t I give it a try?” After all it is our night of glitz and glam, and we are the star of the night. I started to feel excitement fizzing up within me. It was fun to have Selva and Adel to coach both of us for the first dance. So I thought I would share it here. Just a bit of our wedding, Raj and I on the dance floor, twirling slowly (if you can do such a thing) and for a minute, feeling like we were alone. (Btw Adel was standing behind the piano with her smile while throwing me with some hand gesture that I need to remember. Ha-ha-ha. Thanks dear. You were of great help and made it more worthwhile).
The wedding was simple and sweet inclined by enriching Indian traditions. Every little facet of it reflected on our cultural practices. The food, the décor, and the flow of event looked…it was all justpurrrrfect! Everything went through well by grace of God. Here are a few of the memorable shots of the actual wedding ceremony, and exclusive twist of a very elegant reception. A precious moment that will be remembered till eternity.
