Janis and Rajive's Wedding

On February 1, 2003, two of my closest friends got married.  Rajive Chaudhry and Janis McClinch met in July 2001 and very quickly realized they were meant to be together.  They were married according to the Hindu tradition in New Delhi on December 2002, followed by a Christian ceremony in Connecticut less than two months later.  I was unfortunately not able to make the wedding in India because of my exam schedule at Ivey, but I was able to make it to Connecticut.  

Here on these pages are photos from the rehearsal, ceremony, reception, and brunch.
