Preeti and Jerri were married on April 20th, 2019. This beautiful couple came from two backgrounds, Preeti (Chinese descent) and Jerri (Indian descent), which is why they chose to incorporate celebrations from each culture into their wedding.<\/p>\n

The Baraat is where Jerri traveled to the wedding venue on a white horse, where his family accompanied him, celebrating what was about to come.<\/p>\n

Ganesha Puja (Indian Wedding Tradition)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preeti and Jerri had a traditional \u201cGanesha Puja\u201d ceremony that involved both the him and Preeti’s family. Before the ceremony, Jerri took his seat under the mandap after the baraat. Before the ceremony officially began, the Priest invokes Lord Ganesh (the Hindu Elephant God) to remove all obstacles, before the nuptials took place. The ceremony was then performed for good luck on the couple and their families.<\/p>\n
