Chinmayee and Sai’s Traditional Telugu Indian Wedding at Chinmaya Somnath, Chantilly, and Reception at Hyatt Reston Town Center
Venue Location: Hyatt Regency Reston, Reston Town Center, 1800 Presidents St, Reston, VA 20190
Finally, a bride we can say we have known almost her whole life and our whole career! We were honored by her call to secure her date and blessed by the love and friendships she shared!
We knew during their engagement session that Chinmayee and Sai were not going to be anything less than fancy-free and fun-loving – we were not disappointed to be able to spend time with them at Morven Park in Leesburg.
The beauty of having their friends and family help throughout their wedding day with all aspects, including feeding their family, was traditionally a beautiful sight to see. The ceremony was traditional in ceremonies but modern in memories. The beauty of her mandap was one that I thought was truly stunningly done and outweighed a lot of the traditional South Indian Mandaps that I have been privileged to see. Hands down, it is a favorite in South Indian mandap designs and decorative elements. Well done.
One of the most beautiful moments I witnessed that day was the genuine tears and love that was felt as Chinmayee’s Mom silently wept endearingly as her little girl was about to embark on her life as a married woman and begin their lives in NYC together – this is something every mother dreams and wishes for their children, but not all will get to experience. Every wedding I am part of, I remind myself that being asked into this private moment in a family’s life is a privilege that we will never take lightly – that it, for most, has been a lifetime in the making as parents to achieve. These are two parents that we admire and respect for their accomplishments and commend for raising such an amazing young woman who is going to make her mark on this world – and the bonus in it all is that they gained an amazing son-in-law in Sai because he is a one of a kind – kind of guy!
