HOW DID YOU MEET?
We met in college at The University of Michigan, where we had always been great friends. We started dating after, during graduate school. Nitin went to Michigan State for medschool and I went to Upenn for dental school, and we did long distance for 3 years before we got engaged. Now we are both back in Michigan together, with a happily ever after.

WHAT WAS YOUR PLANNING EXPERIENCE LIKE:
Did you hire a consultant, planner or day of coordinator? Or did you DIY all the way? We hired a great wedding planner, Rajul Pillai. She is part of Blissful Weddings and Events.

DID YOU BRING ANY CULTURAL ELEMENTS INTO YOUR LOOK?
The whole wedding was based on traditions. During the wedding, my dress is tied to Nitins scarf to symbolize the union of our souls. A Mangala Sutra, a black beaded necklace with a gold pendant, is tied around my neck to symbolize the bonding of our souls for 100 years. We had the red and gold as our traditional colors of our ceremony outfits, but we also decorated the mandap in pink and white to bring a modern flare. I had my mehndhi done by Ekta Kansara, and chose the architecture design for my mehendhi. I had mehendhi for both my arms and legs. It extended up to my elbow on my arms. It took about 5 hours to get the whole mehendhi done due to the intricacy of the work.

GIVE US THE SCOOP…ANY LOCAL INSIDER TIPS?

Ekta Kansara’s mehendhi designs are unbeatable! Bellsario has a great floral supply and gave the hall a heavenly look.
