Alive. That is the word I would use to describe how I felt at around 12:30am Saturday night after what was an intense two day Indian wedding experience with Yuval, Swathi, their friends and family. It really was more than just a wedding, it was an experience.
Friday's late night Garba was a 5 hour festival of color, dance, food, ceremony and kinship; while our morning started quite early atBrier Creek Country Club in Raleigh, NC around 7:30am, with a small photo session of Yuval & Swathi together.
From there, they separated and Yuval began his portion of the day, which included a great ceremony in a horse and carriage with all the guests parading their way to the ceremony site (with live drummer, music and dancing, of course).
The ceremony itself was a fantastic free flowing event where guests were happy to come up to the platform to take their own photos, move their chairs into the shade where they liked, or to step back and enjoy a proper tea and snack at the tables in the back.
Special cheers go out to Images by Denise (Denise Hutter) and the staff of both the Prestonwood and Brier Creek Country Clubs.
