Short and Sweet Tips from Jennifer Adame and Ganesh Raghunath
About
the duo and how they met
Ganesh
describes Jennifer as "nice, outgoing, and easy to talk to".
He adds:"Being a Mexican, she makes life very fun and exciting.
And yes, she makes good Indian food for being a Mexican".
Jennifer describes Ganesh (originally-from-Bombay) as a "very
giving, warm-hearted soul who's always making her laugh."
"He is also a great cook, but has yet to attempt any Mexican
dishes", quips Jennifer.
We
met through friends in 1999, and used the almighty internet for
keeping in touch over the miles. As the saying goes, "Internet
changes everything!".
 About
Our Wedding, May 05, 2001
The function was simple. We just wanted very close family and
friends, and around 30 people attended. It was small and very
comfortable. We were able to talk with each guest. And thank them
for coming.
The
wedding ceremony was Christian and took place in the Monte Carlo
Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The reception was at the Aladdin
Resort at PF Chang's Bistro.
Family
came from Georgia, Arizona, and California. Friends from Las Vegas
were present, as were friends from our hometown of San Francisco,
CA.
 The
Food
Chinese
contemporary cuisine, vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Our cake
was divine, made at Freed's Bakery and decorated with fresh red
rose petals. We had the whole top floor of the restaurant to ourselves,
and had a great time.
What
They Wore
Jennifer
wore a dark red sari, with Indian jewelry, including bangles while
Ganesh wore a Sherwani suit, with the jacket matching Jennifer's
sari.
Our
words of advice for to-be-weds
Be creative, if you don't have a lot of money or a lot of time,
make it small and simple. It really is nice to have close relatives
and friends only. It is more personal. Money is not the issue,
the marriage is.
We'd
advise you to consult relatives, especially those back home for
advice on dress, jewelry etc, for no one can match them in these
matters. WeddingSutra.com is of course a phenomenal resource,
it was of great help to us and gave us many ideas.
