Hindu and Western Wedding Vows

Since Emma and Nish had wed in a traditional Hindu ceremony the week before, the couple wrote their own vows for their Western wedding, adding a thank-you to their parents. But to honor the religious aspect, a close friend read aloud the Seven Steps (Hindu marriage vows). "We loved being able to share those more broadly with our family and friends," Emma says.
