Aw. Our little Sanjay is (finally) growing up. He took the big step, and got married to Mamta. The wedding was at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, Long Island, which I must admit was a pretty swanky place.
Num did an awesome job wrapping the gift. [You wouldn't
even know it was a blender!]
|
Sanjay and Mamta, about to walk around a dangerous fire!
|
How we look, if you were sitting on my lap, and really
really tiny.
|
Sorry, Sanjay. I got bored during the ceremony. Nothing
personal.

What's a wedding without a conga line?

And that's the evening! Goodnight everybody!

Another one bites the dust, because the wedding season is in full gear. My next wedding this year was Jerry Philip. He had 700 guests, which is pretty big, even for an Indian wedding. That's okay. I just don't understand why the DJ played a 50 Cent song while the bridal party entered the reception hall.
A little bored during the ceremony, so we took pictures
with our cameras. NAUGHTY!

The ladies love a man who have a big umbrella

Saji and Betsy

Future mother-in-law. How'd she end up in the pew in
front of us? Was it fate, or just a crowded church?

Who said sequels have to suck? Since my parents invited all their friends to our engagement, but we still wanted to have a decent celebration, we began arranging for a party that night. After a number of calls, we reserved a room at K Lounge on 52nd St between 5th & 6th. We started at 9pm, and we had over 60 people show up. Yeah, pretty darn amazing, and it was awesome to have our friends come out to celebrate with us. I don't remember too much, but I got home around 3-something.
This is the first batch, with contributions already made by the illustrious Chirag Shah, and plenty more donated by the always imitated, never duplicated, Saji Abraham.

It's nice for people to be getting married, but it's getting kinda on the expensive side, with all the gifts and all. In any case, congrats to Harish (Babu) and Cynthia. They got married in New Brunswick (I like them short and sweet, like my men), and the reception was held at Akbar in Edison, NJ.

A trip to NYC for church, a party at Plexy's and Lesh's, and back in the city that night for some birthday parties. Long day.
The new Cherickels are back from India, duly married. Here's their latest reception for friends and family here.
