Ottawa, the nation’s capital and the Chateau Laurier was the perfect location to celebrate an elaborate Hindu wedding. Our dear friends, Asha and Hiraan Perera celebrated their son’s wedding celebration in festive elegance. Hersh and Julie met their guests at the Friday night Sangeet (dinner, dance and entertainment). Saturday was a day of parading down the street to the Chateau Laurier to greet his new bride and her family. They were wed in the Chateau in a traditional Hindu ceremony and then onto the French Corridor for an afternoon tea and sweets, cocktails and appetizers were served prior to the grand entrance to the Grande Ballroom for the very elaborate dinner dance. The Bako family sat with the Butani family and we had a terrific time. The boys first wedding and they were very impressed.
