Ushma & Nilay’s Blog
Bride’s Name : Ushma Desai
I grew up in Mumbai and moved to New York in 2011. I have a background in medicine but decided it did not align with my interests. Currently, I work as a Technology consultant in North Carolina. I have explored around 27 countries so far. Kickboxing, dancing, and biking are some of the other interests outside work that I enjoy as well.
Groom’s Name : Nilay Parikh
I am a wanderer. At any given time, you can find me either walking or biking around Chicago with my headphones on listening to podcasts or music to trekking around the world with my friends. I love exploring new restaurants, and museums, seeing sites, watching movies, going to concerts, etc. The only thing more important to me than exploring the world is my family and friends.
Hashtag : #UshDesKaNilay
Date : 2nd – 3rd January, 2023
Venue : Mirasol Resort, Daman, India
How did Couple meet?
We connected in January 2021 through a matchmaker. Our first few meetings were all about hiking, jokes, and way too much coffee. "Nilay's endless jokes and the three long dates watching sunrises, and sunsets, drinking loads of coffees, and eating Thai food was the ice breaker for us to connect," says Ushma. "Ushma's willingness to go out of her comfort zone when we went hiking and early morning drive for 2.5 hours to see the sunrise and her caring nature impressed me," says Nilay. As a couple, we have been together for over a year now.
Both of us are Gujarati and Gujarati Weddings are a bouquet of colorful traditions & customs. From pre-wedding rituals to post-wedding functions, you will never have a dull moment when you're attending a typical Gujarati wedding. It can also be described as a series of playful games built into the customs to make the wedding much more exciting.
Haldi
Just a day before the wedding. The bride and the groom are seated on a low seat called Bajat, and a paste of turmeric, sandalwood, rosewater, and herbs is applied to their faces and palms. The Pithi is traditionally prepared by the bride/groom's paternal uncle's wife (Kaki). Once the Pithi is applied, the bride/groom is given a holy bath.
Sangeet
Sangeet is a fun-filled musical evening that almost awaits at a Gujarati wedding! A Sangeet Sandhya is the first occasion where both families get the opportunity to get to know each other and break the ice through music and dancing. The night will include performances from close family, friends, bride, and groom, along with traditional Gujarati Garba Raas. So, please bring your best dance shoes and moves :)
Mamera
Mamoru/Mosalu in a Gujarati wedding is a tradition quite similar to a Mahira Dastoor in a Marwari wedding. The bride's maternal uncle (Mama) and her maternal aunt's husband (Mousa) visit the bride's home a day before the wedding.
Both the Baarat
Wedding
In Mangal Pheras the couple takes four circles around the holy fire while chanting mantras depicting oaths to be with each other throughout their lives. The four pheras each signify "Dharma", "Artha", "Kama" and "Moksha" respectively, and are the four pillars of a happy married life. After every round, the brother of the bride hands them puffed rice to be offered to sacred fire
