becky and ajay chose to to see one another prior to the ceremony so we met on the lawn of the university of virginia for some photo ops of the couple together, as well as the wedding party. that way they could join their guests soon after the ceremony at the reception. they truly enjoyed themselves, as the pictures show!
the ceremony was held in the university of virginia chapel and the rev. claire goodman performed the most beautiful ceremony! becky and ajay included several readers in their ceremony as well as lighting of the unity candle. In addition to exchanging rings, the couple exchanged flower garlands (known as varmala) to symbolize their love. The garlands were made of brightly hued flowers and were draped around the couples necks. varmala are considered to be an important ritual during a hindu wedding ceremony.
after the ceremony everyone headed out to the greencroft club in nearby ivy to celebrate good times, great music, fabulous cuisine, and lots of fun! in memory of becky's father, the couple chose to cut their wedding cake with his naval officers sword. so, so sweet and one of the most touching aspects of the day. i know he must've been looking down on his daughter with a big smile.
