Valet Parking - Compliments of the Sorab Family

Traditionally, the Baraat is the wedding procession that starts from the groom's house and ends at the bride's.

Since the wedding is at The Book Cadillac, Lakshay's Baraat will start at 2:00PM from  Washington Blvd and State Street, and end at the entrance of the Book Cadillac, where Priya's family will welcome Lakshay's family in a fusion of Punjabi and Konkani rituals.  

The DJ will be leading the Baraat - so be prepared to dance, A LOT and make sure to make noise so Priya can hear you arriving!

The wedding ceremony will take place under a canopy-like structure called a mandap. Dr Shivkumar Bhat-ji, who has known Priya all her life, will officiate the ceremony and many relatives will perform specific roles under his guidance.

The bride and groom will be seated in front of the priest for most of the ceremony. Dr. Bhat-ji will recite verses in Sanskrit, and will also provide English explanations of the rituals.  More information on the customs and significance of the rituals are in our Wedding Program.

Due to space limitations, our valuable guests will be unable to bring guests of their own, or children. We request that only those specifically named in the invitation attend our celebrations. Thank you very much for understanding our constraints.

We humbly request no boxed gifts - thank you.

You are invited to cocktails and snacks in the Italian Garden,  while Priya and Lakshay escape to change into evening wear for the reception!

In the culminating event of the wedding weekend, we will conclude with cake, speeches, dances and champagne!
