Dipa+Brandon just had their first wedding anniversary and we're so excited to celebrate by looking back at their incredible wedding festivities! Over three very special days, these two merged not only their lives, but their families and cultures. Dipa comes from a Hindu background and Brandon a Jewish one, so their wedding celebrations honored both religious traditions in a beautiful and unique way! There are way too many amazing photos to share in just one blog post, so check back in for parts 2 and 3 of their wedding! The images in today's post are from the first day of festivities -- the Puja, Pithi, and Mehndi Ceremonies. Congrats, Dipa+Brandon on your first year of marriage!
