A new beginning | Wedding

Myself and Jessica at our wedding… Sigh!
It was a day of joy and celebration at Ganjam, a 150 year old house on Bull Temple road (Bangalore) which has been converted into a wedding hall (Kalyan Mantap). Emotions flied high and everything worked out as planned with some minor hiccups here and there. Jessica looked stunning draped up in a red silk saree with gold thread and swarovski crystals… she wore a different one for the reception, a magenta colored silk saree with gold thread and she looked all the more beautiful.
It was a Vedic style Hindu wedding conducted by Arya Samaj wherein every step of the wedding process, every mantra is translated and explained. We had Mrs. Sharma, a very well known and respected person who manages the Arya Samaj (Indiranagar) preside over the wedding and do the translating. My relatives were impressed and happy that someone finally demystified all the chanting and symbolic processes. The wedding was on a live webcast. We did this so many of her relatives and friends (and some of mine) could watch as it happened and be a part of it from thousands of miles away.
I thank everyone for their good wishes. We are truly blessed.
