Real Wedding

Love transcends all borders and creates an eternal bond between two loving souls. The marriage of Uthara Rajasekhar and Michael Burceseu is a living example where traditional Indian and East European cultures and traditions met for a lifetime partnership based on love and respect for each other. It was 10 April 2021, when the two Doctors of Orlando tied the knot in presence of their family members and friends. 

It’s a small world. Uthara and Michael went to the University of Central Florida and even had a class together! But they never got introduced to each other. It was at the Medical School that they met again and the strangers became friends and gradually fell in love with each other. 

After three and a half years of dating, Michael proposed to Uthara at Crete. After a trek on the Samaria Gorge, he asked Uthara to bring out some snacks from the basket. To the utter surprise, Uthara found a Sapphire ring inside the basket. Michael designed it for his sweetheart and proposed to her with that ring in the picturesque location. 

The marriage took place at the Holy Trinity Reception Center of Orlando in the presence of 180 guests. Among the pre-wedding ceremonies, Mehndi was celebrated with great enthusiasm amidst the color theme of gold and burgundy. 

The marriage had the unique factor of being the first Nair/Menon Hindu Wedding in Central Florida. Following the traditional white, gold and yellow color theme of Keralite marriages, there were yellow and white fresh flowers at the marriage ceremony. Followed by the traditional Hindu wedding in the morning, a civil wedding took place in the evening. 

The reception had a beautiful blend of Indian and East European traditions and cultures. There were fresh flowers of red, pink and orange colors along with matching centerpieces. The couple danced to the hit Bollywood song Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. Two lovers put their hands together for a wonderful journey ahead.

It was in the beautiful and bountiful season of spring, the season of love and hopes that Aditi Patel and Alexander Mas tied the nuptial knot. The date was April 10 2021. The greenery with occasional rains created the magic moments of romanticism and togetherness which was a perfect beginning of the new life of the couple.

Aditi met Alexander in the ninth standard when both went to Spanish classes. The two teenagers became good friends and remained so until cupid struck them. They fell in love during the final year of college. 

Alec proposed amidst the natural backdrop of mountains of Vail atop the hill and watching the sunset. Pleasantly surprised Aditi agreed with ecstasy and love.

Then it was time for marriage. The couple looked for an off-beat venue. After scouting, they found The Secret Garden at Paradise Spring in Lithia a perfect place. It has a secret garden in the backyards that was of prime attraction for both Aditi and Alec. 

The Covid restrictions limited their guest list to 145 for the wedding and 148 for the reception. Among the pre-wedding ceremonies, they celebrated Grah Shanti, Mehndi, Pithi and Sangeet with great vigour and joy. The 

Mehndi was done under the colourful Rajasthani umbrellas with everyone dressed in pink and orange attires. Pithi was a joint celebration with everyone dressed in yellow and white. Everyone put Haldi on the couple and the fun part was the jumping of the couple in the pool together after the Pithi. 

The marriage took place in the garden. The Mandap was set between two trees with touches of red, light pink and white along with a variety of roses. The groom arrived in a Jaguar and passed the aisle and steps glittered with lanterns. 

The reception was organized under the tent and around the pool on the patio. The clear tents with string lights made the sky look all the more beautiful. The couple danced to Say You Won’t Let Go by James Arthur and the father-daughter dance was on Maine Tere Liye Hi Saat Rang Ke Sapne. There were intermittent rains, but that did not put a barrier on the celebrations. Instead, it was like heaven’s blessing for the newly-wed for a loving partnership.

Seaside and beaches played a very special role in the relationship of Sangeetha Ramkumar and Saeid Kazerooni. They got engaged in Hawaii and tied the knot in Miami both being the destination of the romantic couples. It was on the 11th of July 2021, they tied the knot with the blessings and best wishes of family and friends. 

Sangeetha and Saeid met at a party in 2015. There was an instant connection between the two and hence they kept in touch and gradually grew closer. Finally, Saeid proposed in March 2021. They went camping in Makalawena beach in Hawaii and proposed to her lady with her favorite emerald ring, sitting on a rock. 

They decided to get married on July 11th 2021 in Miami. The place was chosen exclusively for Sangeetha’s 96-year-old Grandma who lived there and won’t be able to join the marriage elsewhere. 

Mehndi and Sangeet were clubbed into a single event and celebrated in Venetian Lady Yacht on 10th July. The starry sky of Miami cast a magical spell on the entire event. In tune with the sky, the décor was simple and comprised of white linen, blue carpet, white lounge furniture, bistro lights and centerpieces of white roses, with ostrich feathers and pink rose accents. The guests were served champagne and the yacht was divided into Mehndi corner and dance show for Sangeet. Sangeetha’s favorite Gujarati food was served. 

Marriage had the feel and flavour of traditional south Indian marriage. Due to rain on the previous day, it had to be shifted inside the Americana ballroom of the Loews Hotel in Miami. But the wedding planners, décor company and Saeid did a fantastic job of creating the customary venue inside. 

It had the garden theme, banana tree, red flowers, off white background with gold touches and the usual loud cheers of the invitees as in Indian marriages. Sangeetha was so happy and finally, she broke into tears of happiness and fulfilment when her grandmother blessed them. The relentless efforts of Sangeetha’s family made the event beautiful and smooth, signalling a happy life for them.

Dance played the role of a catalyst in the relationship of Ruhi Vasavada and Parag Patel. The college mates knew each other. It was a Raas dance program in 2011 and perhaps the eternal love story of Radha-Krishna associated with it, which made them closer to each other. They started dating at the end of 2012. For a permanent bonding between the lovers, Parag proposed Ruhi on the Brooklyn Bridge at Manhattan.

The wedding date was fixed for 28 February 2021. Following the Covid restrictions, they limited the number of guests to 100. The couple chose Rosen Shingle Creek at Orlando, Florida as their wedding venue. Pre-wedding ceremonies were full of surprises and festivities. 

Mehndi was done at home. But Pithi had a grand celebration preceded by the traditional ‘Mosaru’ celebration innovatively. Mosaru involves the welcoming of the bride’s paternal family by her maternal side of relatives. Ruhi’s maternal uncles made a gala baraat like procession for the bride and reached the Pithi ceremonies. The color theme and dress code for Pithi comprised of the traditional shades of Maroon, gold, orange and yellow. 

Sangeet décor was natural and simple with touches of gold and green. The spectacular part was the wonderful dance performances by the couple. Parag and Ruhi performed a skit dance program narrating the story of their relationship from their childhood to marriage.

The wedding color theme was comprised of rustic flowers in shades of white, light pink with a touch of magenta. The couple took a unique decision in their marriage rituals. They changed the ritual of ‘Antarpat’ wherein the groom’s face is covered while the bride walks down the aisle. 

To enjoy the surprise and appreciation of seeing his bride, the ‘Antarpat’ was done after Ruhi walked down the aisle. The exchange of looks between the two lovers was a moment of joy and satisfaction for both. The wonderful dance performances by all the friends of the couple were a real celebration of the wedding of a couple bonded by the rhythm of the dance.

The wedding was supposed to be a big party of more than 400 guests in July 2020 at a big hotel near Disney and Universal Studios. Ultimately the marriage of Mamta Purohit and Arjun Patel had to be organized with 50 guests at DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Airport on 23 January 2021.  

Mamta and Arjun’s hearts became loving partners through the dating app ‘Dil-Mil’ meaning meeting of hearts. After a few months of virtual dating, they had their first real date in Orlando. Arjun proposed to his lady at Central Park, NYC, two years later. Mamta was touched by this gesture and elated to say ‘Yes. It was April 2019 and the couple decided to tie the knot in July next year. 

Like many others, the Covid Pandemic jeopardized their plans too. However, it was their wedding planner Carly who did not deem their enthusiasm and organized an excellent traditional Indian event on 23 January 2021 with 50 guests. Among the pre-wedding ceremonies were the Mehndi, Ganesh Puja and Pithi. All were celebrated inside the Hotel. 

As a prelude to the beginning of the new life the next day, they organized a welcome dinner with royal attires in navy blue and golden. In tune with the royal style, the centerpieces had lanterns with white flowers. The couple and their friends also danced to various Bollywood songs along with Latin American pop, Bhangra and Garba. 

This was a kind of reception for them as Covid restrictions prevented them from having a reception. To Mamta’s utter surprise, Arjun performed really well. Arjun was completely mesmerized at the look of Mamta at the Welcome dinner. Both were spellbound to see the excellent décor at the welcome dinner.        

The wedding was a simple indoor ceremony with organic greenery and Mandap with roses of different colors. The groom came on a horse carriage with a dholi player and both the parties dancing to the beats. After the wedding, they enjoyed an after-party with their friends. 

It was a perfect wedding ceremony of two persons belonging to the same tradition of a close-knit Indian family, who preferred to celebrate with people who wholeheartedly blessed and wished Mamta and Arjun lifelong happiness and marital bliss.
