Wedding: At the Long Beach Hilton in Los Angeles. “I chose the Long Beach Hilton because of its exquisite South Asian décor, there’s beautiful Asian art work throughout the hotel. It was a perfect backdrop for a festive Indian wedding”, says Priya.  The wedding ceremony was a traditional Hindu ceremony and a blend of Punjabi and Bengali wedding traditions. Says Priya: “Music was a very important part of our wedding; we hired a dozen musicians and dancers to entertain guests throughout the wedding.”
