Amrutha Srinivasan Instagram – @evamkarthik and I thought, contemplated, insisted to our parents and arrived at this beautiful ceremony we invented for our wedding. We wanted our friends and family to be the ones to officiate/conduct our wedding. Both sides of the family were introduced to each other – they spent time getting to know each other. Everyone felt included. Our babies Sky and Shadow had matching scarves. Paatis and Thathas were remembered. Childhood stories were shared. Poetry was recited. A Nigerian Wedding Ceremony tradition was incorporated where the bride and groom are hyped in a friendly fight between either sides. My heart melted at what our people spoke about us. There was love, all around. There was laughs and giggles and tears (even with the absence of a homa gundam😂) ♥️ It only seemed befitting that breakfast for everyone was ordered from our very own @sangeetharestaurantofficial 😂♥️ I wore my paati’s neli modhiram, Karthik’s mom’s kemp set from @sukra_jewellery , valaiyal I bought in pondy bazaar. I was able to quite literally wear all of these with ease till the end of the day. Looking at this picture I’m also getting reminded of Sekar Anna who showed me my sarees and Moorthy anna who did the end tassels (mudi potufying) at @nallisilksarees . :) The beautiful thoranams and flowers all along the motta maadi parapet was so beautifully done by @vizhamedai , making our dream of an intimate terrace wedding come true!
