Daddy’s little girl sums up Ana’s relationship with her Dad in a nutshell! It was so sweet to see him beside her the whole time as she had her senior portraits taken. Ana is the only child and he wanted nothing but the best for her.
It was great to meet you both, we can’t wait to hear how college goes, please do share!
Christmas in America is culture as much as it is tradition 🤍
It’s family, food, memories, and the people we carry with us — both near and far.
Today’s South Asian Wedded Life episode holds space for engagement, family dynamics, Indo-American life, and the emotions that surface when love and legacy meet.
Sending love to everyone navigating the season in their own way.
YouTube @amyregeti is where the entire heartfelt episode is ... head on over!
🎄 Merry Christmas, SAWL family.
There’s something special about engagement celebrations that are kept intimate — they breathe differently.
Bhavya & Jayant’s South Asian Indian engagement celebration at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, Virginia was filled with easy laughter, meaningful conversations, and the kind of togetherness that reminds you what these moments are really about.
Stone Tower is such a beautiful fit for smaller, lighthearted gatherings — open spaces, vineyard views, and a natural elegance that doesn’t need overproduction to shine. It’s a place where families can relax, reconnect, and truly enjoy being together.
It was also a pleasure working closely with Bhavya’s mom during the booking process. Her confidence and decisiveness — right from the referral — spoke volumes.
In so many Indian and Indian-American families, parents thoughtfully vet vendors while couples juggle school, residencies, fellowships, and demanding careers. When trust is there, everything flows exactly as it should.
Authenticity always wins.
The laughter, the smiles, the memories — and the promise of what’s still to come. 🤍

Coming off a wedding weekend always leaves me thoughtful 🤍
Somewhere between unloading camera bags, folding laundry, and realizing Christmas is next week, I found myself replaying a quiet thought I know I’m not alone in…
We shouldn’t have to explain neglect to our kids or visiting family in a place meant to teach reverence.
I finally sat down and talked about it — honestly, gently, and without judgment — in a new episode of SAWL - Spilling the Chai with Amy ☕️
If you’ve ever left a place of worship feeling spiritually full but physically unsettled… this conversation might be for you.

Planning an Indian or South Asian wedding is supposed to feel joyful.
But for so many brides… it quietly feels heavy.
Heavy with expectations.
Heavy with pressure.
Heavy with guilt for wanting something different — or something simpler.
Heavy with the feeling of being watched instead of supported.
And no one really talks about that part.
This week on South Asian Wedded Life, I shared a conversation that many brides are thinking — but rarely feel allowed to say out loud.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering:
“Why does this feel so hard already?”
“Why don’t I feel excited yet?”
“Why does this feel heavier than I expected?”
You’re not broken.
You’re not ungrateful.
And you’re not alone.
This episode isn’t about planning.
It’s about naming the invisible weight brides carry — culturally, emotionally, quietly.
