Caucasian married South Asian Indian, I've been in the Indian wedding industry for the last 20 years, author of "Married to India", a blogger, personal wedding coach, wedding photographer, and mom of 5 - PHEW that was a lot - what if I said I have the power to compress time for you as a bride planning your Indian/Hindu wedding? Would you stick around, let me in, and include me as part of your journey? I believe that I do have the answers you are looking for and want to know. With a passion, purpose, and goal to help those starting as you venture into what I have made into a 20-year career, I cannot wait to meet all of you!

Things you'll find here will be related to South Asian/Indian weddings, a market I feel wholeheartedly is underserved. The best part is - I am unbiased, NOT of Indian descent, but being respectfully culturally merged I have unique insight from both sides. I am here to spill all the wedding chai!
