You may remember Anjali & Girish from their San Francisco engagement shoot! A couple of days before Anjali & Girish’s Wedding at the historic San Francisco City Hall, I had the privilege of joining their families just outside the city for a traditional Haldi Ceremony and Mehendi Celebration. The morning Haldi Ceremony included all of the elders giving Anjali their blessing, and then covering her in tumeric which, by tradition, is done to make the bride’s skin look more beautiful. Side note: Anjali is already very beautiful! This Mehendi Celebration is considered to be an essential element of an Indian wedding. Anjali & Girish were surrounded by family & friends who provided marital advice, and sang traditional songs for a prosperous married life. It was an evening full of love and laughter!!
