Just winding down from a fabulous weekend.
(Feel free to jump straight to the photos of Mike & Nimi’s wedding.)
And who knew that Nimi’s voice was beautiful too? We always saw that Mike & Nimi were a great, super-compatible couple; but I learned on Thursday that on top of it all, they’re even vocally compatible.
(Having the party at Tinga Tinga Karaoke (162 Madison Ave.) was a great call; props to Dave.)
After a quick lesson in how to dance the Raas (a traditional Gujarati wedding “line” dance, in which the participants hit each others’ Dandia, or decorated sticks), we took the floor with the other dancers. In this chronicler’s humble opinion, he did a good job (for once) not looking like a fool. His wife? Well, let’s just remember how awesome she is at everything else. (And I hope the people who she almost clubbed on the head realize that.)
Everyone had a blast–and as a bonus, there were no dandia injuries.
After a truly unique ceremony by the co-officiants (a Hindu priest and a pony-tailed rabbi), the real party started. There was fabulous food as far as the eye could see. There was band as far as the ear could hear. Both were awesome.
We got to meet and talk with some of Mike & Nimi’s other friends, all of whom were fantastic.
And best of all, we got to see our two friends joyfully enter into what is most certainly a union that’s meant to be.
Dinner was in Montclair, at a Turkish place called Lalezar. Tough call, since Thai Chef (one of our favorite restaurants) was literally just down the block.
Dinner was good, movie was very good, friends were great.
(We saw an Israeli movie called Walk on Water (Lalachet Al Ma’im). Recommended.)
Now, our friends are getting married this coming weekend, so naturally, they were interested in the details of Mike & Nimi’s Wedding Extravaganza. The funny thing is, after describing the ceremony to them, we all realized that our friends’ rabbi is going to be the same rabbi we had just seen marry Mike & Nimi.
Not the first coincidence we’ve shared with these two wonderful people; and, I hope, not the last.

I really liked the photos and blog comments. I'm glad you took photos, since my camera disappeared making the ones you took so important. We're happy that you were able to celebrate at all three events and that you had a good time with us.
guys--we're glad you like our little entry!
nimi, the photos you took (at least the ones from the bachelor party) were so awesome--and so superior to the ones i took--that we can't wait to see them. let us know if you post them! :)
That is so awesome! Thanks for all of the compliments, and I'm *so* glad you and Sara had such a great time. You're website is about to get another 100 hits, as I'm going to send the blog and pictures to friends and family at the wedding. Thanks for making us famous! The funny thing is- I didn't even realize our Rabbi had a pony-tail until you mentioned it in your blog :)
Wow Ron, awesome blog! Nimi and I are so honored to have made it on to your web page :) We are really glad that you and Sara had such a good time--it was wonderful celebrating with you!
