On a beautiful day in September, I met up with Jismi at her parent’s house as she was getting the finishing touches on her make-up done. There was excitement and laughter in the air as her bridesmaids took over and helped Jismi into her dress. Soon afterwards, family members started arriving for the blessing and prayers and to wish the bride well on her day.
Jismi & Johny’s ceremony took place at Blessed Sacrament in Albany where they incorporated Indian traditions into their Catholic ceremony. From there we headed to the Empire State Plaza with Paul & Brenda from Upstate Photographers for a fun photo session with the bridal party, then made our way to Glen Sanders Mansion for the reception. Once again, Jismi & Johny incorporated traditional elements into their day, including a lamp lighting, feeding of coconut water, dance performances, and speeches before changing into Indian clothing for the rest of the reception. It was a wonderful day packed full of events, which coordinator Christine Wheat managed with ease. The DJ (IEDJS) started the party with an amazing dance set and played a great mixture of music all night to keep the dance floor packed.
Here is the highlight video from Jismi & Johny’s 2010 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!
