Anita & David are one of the coolest couples I’ve ever met… both are smart, gorgeous, and super fun. Just take a look at their cross-cultural Indian/Western wedding that we celebrated on the 4th of July. The morning started with a traditional South Indian Hindu ceremony filled with many fascinating traditions… There’s not space to list them all, but my favorites were the Vratham (tying the Kappu – the holy thread tied on the wrist of the bride – to ward off evil spirits), the Kanya Dhaanam (where the bride is made to sit on her father’s lap and is given away as a gift by him to the groom), and the Saptha Padhi (the bride & groom hold hands and walks seven steps together – only then are they married).
After a delicious Indian lunch prepared by New Delhi Restaurant, Anita changed into another beautiful Sari and the Rev. Peader Dalton presided over a western ceremony tying both into one seamless wedding. It was lovely.
Then there was dancing (including a Bollywood routine by the newlyweds!), a delicious meal by Ramekins, pie, and fireworks! (It was the 4th of July afterall.)
