Veronique Wedding - Arshad and Payson Got Married an Amazing Pakistani-American Wedding
Payson and Arshad had a wedding unique in merging of their two cultures. They purposely decided not to do two separate events - 1 pakistani, 1 American because that's not how they live their lives together - with a clear dividing line between their two cultures. Rather, they have both adopted traditions of the other and merged their cultures together, while simultaneously respecting their different heritages.
Payson and Arshad said, "While our ideal wedding is a representation of the two of us and our families - we want our guests to enjoy themselves and to maybe walk away having learned or experienced (and enjoyed) something new. As Michele Bernard, our florist put it, "It's going to be an experience." We hope to provide our guests with such an experience, while also being sure to incorporate traditions from both sides. Essentially, our wedding is a mix of old and new, east and west. We've also added lots of personal touches - for example our meal began and ended with dishes inspired by our mothers. The bride, is a fan of Sufi poetry & each table number is a framed Sufi poem. Both the bride and groom enjoy biking around the city and though the bride's dress made it difficult for their first "get away" transportation - our bikes - to be possible, we chose the 2nd best option - a boston pedi cab."
