Words can't describe the beauty of Minutha and Dustin's wedding celebration. Thankfully, these photos capture what words cannot!
Wesley and the kids head to Atlanta. Due to classes, I had to travel Friday morning (though I ended up not making it to class - I was too busy with last minute packing!)

Celebration One: Christian Wedding Ceremony
 |
It was so cold but Elizabeth was a trooper! Jackson brought her jacket to her for the ceremony but she took it off for her grand exit.

This beautiful junior bridesmaid loved every minute of being in the wedding party!

 |
I love you. I will pray for you. I loved being in your wedding.

Celebration Two: Sangeet
A celebration of the Indian culture that marks the initiation of the Hindu wedding tradition. It is a traditional pre-wedding event with mehendi (henna) for the ladies, some Bollywood dancing performances by friends and family and of course, delicious Indian food.

She would have set there all night watching them dance and wishing she could tag in!
|
Celebration Three:
Lunch at a local Indian restaurant followed by watching Minutha get her bridal menhendi done.
Celebration Four: Baraat and Hindu Ceremony
As the groom, Dustin arrived on a decorated horse in the Baraat procession with his entourage of family and friends dancing to Bollywood music. The Mahadevaiahs received the groom in a traditional Hindu Ceremonial reception followed by the Hindu ceremony.

Yes, I got complimented on my sari wrapping skills
No, there is no way I could out it on again! |

Free Time!

Celebration Five: Cocktail Hour and Wedding reception
This reception was amazing!
Two of the favorite dishes of ours (mainly Philip who tried everything!) were
Pav Bhaji "sloppy joes"
Paneer Khati Rolls "Indian Burritos'
 |
Elizabeth finally got to a moment to shine when she was asked to dance with the wedding party.
