Shalini Singh & Khris Harinarain
June 21, 2008, Queens
Shalini Singh's best friend and Khris Hrinarain's best friend were dating, so their meeting was inevitable. After a few group gatherings, Shalini 27, a recruiter for a bank, admits, "we gravitated toward each other." One evening, they enjoyed a private conversation as they waited for their friends, and later danced together before exchanging phone numbers. After their first date, on May 21, 2006, they were "inseparable."
Last September, Khris, 29, a broadband technician, picked up Shalini early to take her to work. They'd had recent car troubles, so, when Khris needed to take a look under the hood, Shalini thought nothing of it.
"I was fussing because I had to get to work and, all of a sudden, he was down on one knee and asked me to marry him," she recalls. "I was speechless. He knew if he did the typical dinner romantic thing, I would be onto him."
The pair wed in a traditional Hindu ceremony at Maha Lakshmi Mandir Temple. The bride wore a "very rich-looking and detailed" red skirt, top and shawl and the groom donned a long yellow silk coat and a tall hat with flowers. During the ceremony, among other rituals, they exchanged garlands, walked around a sacred fire and tied a nuptial knot.
The couple had a Western reception the following day, for which the bride wore a gown by Allure Bridal. The entire two-day affair was coordinated by ACL Event Planning. A steel drum band played during the reception, and a deejay entertained throughout the evening. The newlyweds cut into a four-tiered vanilla sponge cake with chocolate mousse filling before presenting their guests with rum cakes.
They honeymooned in St. Lucia.
We love planning weddings and events in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania...and beyond!
