Experience the beauty of Monica & Manuj’s big day—now unveiled on the Platinum Guide Blog!
How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
It was modern dating with a twist! We met on good old Dil Mil, but had a few common friends who vetted for each other. The first message Manuj sent to me was "Punjabi, loves dogs/Mexican food, and enjoys the beach, check to all of that, when can the dholi come?" It was love at first text, and we knew how special it was that we connected. We spent the first year of dating long-distance, and eagerly waited to see one another every few weeks. They say you cannot take the Texas out of a man (and this is true!), but I took the man out of Texas! Manuj moved to Michigan for us, and our relationship flourished. I knew he was the one from all the compromises, unselfish love, and commitment he made.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
I think the absolute best part of our wedding that our guests and we loved was having our dog, Zen, be a part of our Haldi ceremony. Zen is the light of our life, and it was imperative he had a role in our wedding events. We were so touched that all our guests enjoyed his sweet company. He brought his good energy to our Haldi, and it is a forever memory!
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Reading our vows aloud at the Hindu ceremony was the most special and loving moment. It was something we always wanted to do, and we're so happy to have that core memory. Our vows were vulnerable, raw, and we deeply expressed our profound love to each other.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Stay calm and enjoy the planning process (as much as you can!)
Once the wedding events begin, take a moment to process all that is going on because you blink and it's gone!
Share your favorite moments, and don’t forget to tag us; we love seeing our maharanis shine!
