Wedding Ceremony
2:00 PM
The mantras chanted during the marriage ceremony were handed down thousands of years ago by our ancient sages who saw them in their state of super-consciousness or communion with the divine. The mantras express lofty ideas and have great spiritual potency. The vibrations set in motion by the chanting of the mantras purify the marriage hall as well as all those present there.

Tidbits
What was your most memorable date?
I flew to New York City on Valentines day to see Kunaal while he was based in the US for a few months. We went ice skating in Central Park, and decided to take a walk to our restaurant across the park. As we we were walking snowflakes started falling, with the twinkling city lights, the surprise snowfall and the amazing park scenery, it was the most romantic moment of my life.
What's your favorite activity together?
Watching Lord of The Rings once a year.
Who's going to take out the trash?
Kunaal, but only if Orika tells him to..
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Kunaal knows.. Orika does not.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
We travelled to New Zealand together - visited Auckland, Hobbiton and Waitomo, saw all the amazing sights and experienced the horrid Rotorua smell..
The dorkiest thing about us is
Watching Lord of the rings together once a year...
We are regulars at
Nandos and home..
