Some things are best done in twos. On their beautiful wedding day, Jelly + Avneesh celebrated two traditions, starting the day by getting dressed in colorful silk fabrics, gold, and jewelry, and heading to Treasure Island, for an ecstatic baraat entrance, and a sacred Hindu ceremony full of ancient wedding rituals, which you can see here and here.
While their guests enjoyed a chai break, Avneesh jumped into a handsome suit and Jelly's mom helped zip her into a beautiful white beaded dress. For this third post, we want to highlight their elegant Western wedding ceremony and then some take a peek at their way-too-fun reception, which was filled with tear-jerking speeches, fantastic dance moves, and fish-kisses.
We are so honored to have been able to document their epic love celebration (two weddings in one day) and are beyond happy for the newlyweds!
