Manika & Richard – East, West, Love!
A 2009 highlight. Absolutely!
Richard’s family is from Italy, Manika’s from India, they had a ceremony in Rome and then a few weeks later a Hindu ceremony at the Westin in Charlotte.
The day before the Mendhi ceremony (that is when the henna paintings are applied) took place at the Renaissance Suites Hotel.
Manika was just the sweetest bride and at the evening of the Mendhi ceremony we were stunned by her beauty. But we had no idea what we’d witness the next day, she was so gorgeous and radiating! There were many of the guests in the traditional attire, Richard looked extremely handsome in it.
The dancing was one of the big highlights, and the lighting in the reception room complemented is extremely well. Oh, yes, and the food … certainly awesome!
