~Mandira 's wedding~

14th February, 1999.


New Delhi.


Raj Kaushal.


We had two separate wedding ceremonies, Hindu style and Sikh style. For the Hindu one, I was dressed in the sari my mother wore at her wedding and for the Sikh wedding I wore a Ritu Kumar lehenga-choli.


Love.


Three years.


I wanted a ring that I could wear everyday and got the ring of my dreams. It is a 1.1-carat solitaire with a four-prong setting.


Patience, consistency and sense of humor.


The entire wedding was the biggest expense; we had two weddings and a reception.


We had two ceremonies in New Delhi. One was a typical Arya Samaji Hindu ceremony and the other the Anand Karaj, traditional Sikh style wedding.


I think Raj was a little nervous about the whole thing and I think his friends gave him some alcohol to calm his nerves because he arrived a little tipped.
