Amelia & Nik | Indian Fusion Wedding at Discovery World | Part I: Baraat and Hindu Ceremony

Amelia & Nik’s wedding day was many things: colorful, cheerful, fun, traditional, non-traditional, romantic. The list could on for well beyond these few choice adjectives. But the most important descriptor that cannot be left out is:

Perfect.

It perfectly reflected their lives as individuals and as a couple, their histories and families, their passions and their style. It mixed everything up and yet, reflected them so very clearly: Amelia & Nik are deeply in love, best friends, dance partners for life and totally thrilled to be one another’s partner. This first in a two part blog post starts early on a sunny summer morning with Indian rituals and heirlooms (Amelia wore Nik’s mom’s wedding jewelry along with new jewelry to call her own) and included a sail boat ride for Nik and his best guys. To throbbing dance beats and a chorus cheers Nik arrived at Discovery World as part of his Baraat and it was obvious he loved every.single.minute.of.it. Under a canopy of greenery and surrounded by their parents and siblings, plus beloved grandparents, Amelia & Nik expressed their gratitude, their hopes and prayers for their life together and were joined in the Hindu tradition, tied together, circling the fire, toes to stones and hearts open to love. Later they would exchange rings and toasts, but for the first part of their wedding day it was more than enough to be husband and wife in the tradition of Nik’s family; it was Perfect.
