Punam and Hemil: I Married My Best Friend

There is nothing more precious than marrying your best friend. Not many of us can have the pleasure to say, “I married my best friend.” Needless to say, this lucky couple got the chance to fall in love with each other and became best friends before getting married. The bride couldn't have imagined her wedding any other way.

Hemil and Punam met through mutual friends a very long time ago. They became close friends and over time their friendship grew into love and everything else is well, history.

Fact: It didn't take Punam a long time to find her perfect wedding dress, "I actually got the bridal outfit in India in a store in Mumbai. Found the outfit on my second day out in India. Absolutely fell in love with it." I must say that's extremely impressive because we all know that most brides try on loads of outfits before falling in love with something! Finally, we really thought the locket that Punam wore with her father’s photograph was a beautiful gesture and a great way to include her late father.

Thank you Wedding Documentary for providing these beautiful pictures!

Indo-Chinese Fusion Wedding!

This wedding was one of our most unique weddings! Hapreet and Kevin have come from two complete different backgrounds, but they combined their cultures so perfectly on their wedding day! Harpreet and Kevin met in medical school and decided to have their wedding in San Francisco. This city set the perfect ambiance for them.

Harpreet and Kevin incorporated their cultures in many ways which included a Sikh wedding ceremony, a Chinese Tea ceremony, and even a 10 course dinner at their reception. Their cake was so spectacular because it included square cupcakes and a giant cupcake for the couple to cut! Harpreet and Kevin are the prime example of how our country truly is a melting pot. Everyone may come from different backgrounds, but they showed us that everyone has the ability to combine and become one. Harpreet and Kevin embraced each other’s cultures with open arms and enjoyed every minute.

Special thanks to South Asian Bride Magazine for featuring us! Thank you MDC SF Photography for the great pictures and a special thanks AVL Solutions, LLC for introducing us to our lovely couple!

How much do you love their wedding favors?

 Who knew a tea light holder could be so cute?!

Wine Country Destination Wedding

The couple could not have been happier to have their wedding in Sonoma. While planning the wedding, the bride lived in New York and the groom lived in Chicago, but they always wanted to have their wedding in California. Mia knew that she could not get married anywhere other than California. Being a California girl at heart - her and Sasha found the perfect venue in Cline Cellars in Sonoma. Cline Cellars is a great destination to have a wedding because of their breath taking views. Not to mention, wine barrels can give the perfect ambiance to any wedding.  

Now for the moment we have been waiting for -- the ahhhh-maaazing reception! The couple pulled all the stops on this one. There was a Taj Mahal ice sculpture, ice bar for their signature drinks, 4 tiered mehndi designed cake, chocolate covered strawberries for guests to eat before dinner, and a live band! Congrats Mia and Sasha - we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
