Vanessa and Suji joined their lives and their two cultures in one huge wedding day. It took a venue as large as the Palm Event Center to hold the double festivities, including the Hindu tradition of the groom arriving on a white horse. Suji was smiling broadly—once he was sure he was staying on the horse.

Vanessa looked stunning in her traditional red Indian wedding Sari and jewelry. After the Hindu ceremony, she changed into a gorgeous white wedding gown and a knock-out diamond necklace. She carried a white bouquet down the aisle to meet Suji and exchange Christian vows.

Entering the reception, any jitters were long gone and Vanessa and Suji strode into the dance floor as husband and wife. Congratulations, and thank you for letting me be there.
