{events} ruchi & dave, sangeet

Friday night after the Mehndi party, we headed over to Ruchi's uncle's house for the Sangeet, a celebratory event prior to the wedding where friends and family sing and dance in honor of the couple. Their home was beautifully decorated and many of their friends and relatives wore traditional Indian attire, which made for quite the colourful evening!

After dinner, Ruchi and Dave's loved ones put on an amazing show, with everything from singing and dancing, poems, speeches, and skits depicting moments in their life together (some to the music of Les Miserables!). Ruchi serenaded Dave with a song (and dang, she can sing!), and the show closed with the "Aunties & Uncles Dance," in which they danced to a medley of popular Indian songs.

It was an incredible evening filled with lots of laughs, a few tears, a couple broken wine glasses (the mark of a good party, right?), and so much joy that I couldn't believe that wasn't the actual wedding!

















Stay tuned tomorrow for wedding photos!
