Christian Indian Wedding: Mythri and Prakash

Mythri is from Oklahoma. You would never guess from talking with her. Although, she did say, growing up she never quite fit in. Mythri describes her style as, “stilettos, mis-matched clothes and bright colors” I don’t know to many people from Oklahoma that say that.

I met her, Prakash and her best friend, Brooke. We hit it off immediately. Brooke was this vivacious girl with a southern drawl and has a great affinity for Mythri. They are like sisters and as goofy as can be. Mythri said to me, “I never thought I’d get married. I just never dated the right guys.” Of course, her parents always encouraged her to date indian men and being the rebellious daughter, she never would. Finally, she broke down and signed up for an indian online dating service. She wasn’t sure she’d find anyone she’d want to date but then one night, Prakash messaged her. “He wrote the message in yoda speak and it was just geeky enough to get me hooked. Then we realized he was visiting his family in a very small town in India which is the same town my family is originally from.” I asked Mythri what things she loves about Prakash, “he loves me as much as my family does, he randomly covers homeless people with blankets on the street and he’s bald”

Mythri and Prakash are a great pair. You can see the love, admiration and comfort that they give each other. They are both zany, although I think Mythri is more so. They also are self proclaimed geeks. I mean they had a Yoda cake at their wedding!

Mythri and Prakash had a gorgeous and full wedding day. Mythri had so many clothing changes, I could barely keep up. They planned to do a christian wedding in the morning for Prakash and his family, then family formals, then change clothes to her mother’s wedding sari, while the guests had cocktails at the Please Touch Museum, then a hindu ceremony, followed by the reception where Mythri changed into her own Longa. Towards the end of the night, after all the formalities were done she changed into sweats. Mythri said, ” The longa is so heavy and I want to DANCE and feel free” hence, the sweats. Prakash had his own set of clothing changes with a tux, a sherwani and then a mandarin collared coat and pants. I have to say all the colors and outfits were stunning.
