The Wedding of Geena & Adam

Adam and Geena married recently in a small courthouse ceremony in Cheviot, OH. But they wanted to celebrate their wedding with their friends and family in Minneapolis, so they organized a hybrid Indian-American celebration. The wedding weekend was filled with fun activities, starting with “Mehendi Night” at Geena’s parents’ house in Eden Prairie, where they enjoyed mouth-watering Indian food and danced the night away.
The next day, Geena & Adam continued the festivities with our “Sangeet” at Muse in Minneapolis. They gave out beautiful Indian jewelry and purses to their guests, and the bridal party put on a choreographed dance performance that had everyone cheering. They also had meaningful toasts and many laughs, making it a night to remember.
On the wedding day, Adam arrived on a white horse surrounded by family and friends dancing to the beat of the “dhol.” The day started with a traditional “Baraat,” which led directly into the Hindu ceremony, where Geena’s father explained the essence of Hinduism to their guests. Geena’s great aunt and her son officiated beautifully, retaining the heart of each Hindu ritual while sharing its meaning with the audience. After a brief break, they moved into the American ceremony, where Adam and Geena exchanged vows.
Finally, the guests enjoyed speeches from Geena and Adam’s fathers, Geena’s sister, and Adam’s brother. They also had plenty of food and dessert and danced the night away. Geena and Adam gave away poetry books as centerpieces, as they both love poetry and bonded over it since their first Tinder conversation.
