What Should I Wear? This is a biq question for many of our fashion conscious friends and family, and the answer is similarly big. There are a variety of events and traditions that are coming together for this wedding and we will experience an equally wide variety of tastes and color…Sapana why don’t you answer this question.

The spirit of the Mehndi and Sangeet is absolute fun.  Traditionally, ladies where gorgeous dresses with intricate design and beadwork, which is the hallmark of Indian fashion.  Unlike the wedding ceremony and reception, the attire for the Mehndi and Sangeet is COLORFUL.  While the dresses are just as luxurious and formal, they are more comfortable, playful and bright.  Of course for our Mehndi and Sangeet, there is absolutely no requirement to wear Indian attire, and ladies may wear just about any type of cocktail attire.  The gentlemen are required to wear colorful suits… just kidding!  Gentlemen may wear any type of suit they prefer.

The attire for the Catholic wedding ceremony and reception  is cocktail or gowns for ladies and suits for gentlemen.  The reception will be aboard a cruise.  If the ladies are concerned about wearing gowns aboard the cruise– do not worry, the boat is comfortable enough for it to be worn.  However, shorter cocktail dresses might be more fun, particularily for the warm summer night in June.

The attire for the Hindu wedding ceremony and reception is evening gown for ladies and dark suit or black tie optional for gentlemen.

This is one of our favorite photos taken as we were leaving a tango club in Buenos Aires the following morning.  As we remember all of the beautiful times we have had, we look forward to all the beautiful things yet to come…

The love we share shines from sunrise to sunrise, growing brighter year to year as we share our lives.  Together we’ve walked hand in hand, heart to heart, with love on our side we never shall part.
