Genuine Multicultural Inspired Day of A Lifetime

Alright my readers – do you have your tissue box because this next one is a serious tear jerker. Let me set you up:

We have two extraordinarily genuine people about to get married. The groom and my husband met in college several years ago. We found out during the ceremony that the two met on a dating app which is absolutely amazing because they trust in the system which allowed them to find each other. Honestly, I never believed in the system because I always feel like I’m in danger but I can say now that I am so, so happy for the system and that they kept with it. Complete Respect.

I’m keeping with the theme here. The two wed at the bride’s parents’ home here in Wisconsin. Are you ready for the details? Here ya go:

• I’m obsessed with taking photos at weddings but this idea is growing on me and I’m falling in love. This bride and groom chose to ask their guests to unplug during their ceremony. Which means that they ask their guests to not use their phones or cameras during the ceremony so that they can be present and focus on what’s most important – their words to each other #genius.

Additional Highlights

• A part of Indian tradition at weddings is that the groom rides in on a white horse with his bridal party, friends, and family singing and dancing behind him as they walk to the ceremony space – absolutely amazing.
• The bride and groom chose to have two ceremonies one Indian and one American. The American version had one of their good friends officiate the ceremony.
• The couple wrote their own vows. Can someone please warn the guest when this happens so I can bring a box of Kleenex. I’m pretty sure I’m still tearing up.
• Their ‘ring bearer’ and ‘flower girl’ were their two beautiful dogs
• They catered from Maharana Indian Restaurant
• During one a the songs, the parents of the bride provided the guests with a hat to honor their Polish heritage. We all had a blast dancing with chicken hats and sombreros. All hats collected from the bride’s entire family.

My favorite part about this memorable wedding was that the couple embraced how unique and different their cultures are so much so that they decided to have two ceremonies highlighting both of them. I can not stop admiring how much love they have between each other and how much their families welcomed a new member into their world. It’s honestly giving me chills thinking about it. Imagine if we all were this warm and caring – the world would definitely be a much happier place.

I’m really excited to know how many of you have had new ways of showcasing your beautiful culture. Please comment below to share!
