A Blending of Cultures
You know the saying, love is blind, right? I’d like to add that love has no boundaries. The love was evident at the double ceremony marriage of Hannah & Rohan at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, October 15th. What’s beautiful about getting married at Keswick Vineyards is you are given a 12-hour rental time that you can use however you want. With our tasting room being totally separate from our private event area, couples can start their ceremony at any time meaning, they don’t have to wait for our tasting room to close. This is HUGE when you want to incorporate 2 different cultural ceremonies into one day.
Hannah & Rohan started their wedding day with a traditional Hindu ceremony. I just love everything about these ceremonies. I’m always thankful when the couple provides a program that fully describes each element of the ceremony.
Hannah & Rohan then did a traditional Jewish ceremony after a quick change. During that time, guests enjoyed their first cocktail hour. Hannah surprised Rohan with the song she chose to walk down the aisle to. It was Art Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Trouble Water”. I found out later that Hannah chose that song because it is one of Rohan’s favorite songs. They were both shocked when I told them I thought she chose that song because Art Garfunkel use to live here. They had no idea and were totally blown away when they found that out. What a way to make choosing that song even more spectacular!
Both Hannah & Rohan were part of the acapella singers when they attended UVA. Rohan was part of the Virginia Gentlemen and many men of that group were in attendance. So of course, they had to perform a song in front of everyone dedicated to Hannah. What a treat!
Guests had so much fun dancing the rest of night away. As you can see, they did the traditional Jewish Hora dance, also known as the chair dance. What a spectacular wedding that had no boundaries, just love! Congratulations Hannah & Rohan!
