My Not-So-Big, Not-So-Fat, Not-So-Indian Wedding

Posted at 4:56 PM, May 8, 2007 · 10 Comments

Yours truly got married last Friday (May 4th) at City Hall here, in San Francisco.

City Hall

It was a small ceremony, with only family present.

Front Door

We did the paperwork, and were given a number…

B224 One

…but we didn’t have to wait long.

B224 Two

There was no pandit to recite shlokas. Just a Justice of the Peace to recite some vows.

Justice Andrew Low

We exchanged rings…

Ring Exchange

…and that was it.

There was no bouquet to throw, but we wondered who’d get married next.

Watching

Celebrations were at Slanted Door in the Ferry Building, where they gave us a congratulatory dessert platter.

Slanted Door

There’ll be a “real” wedding in November, for which everyone who’s anyone (but not the paparazzi) will get an invite.

    A Patiala-peg of my finest Scotch is in order!!

    Congratulations! I was pleased to at least get a glimpse of the lovely bride, even if it was only her hands.

    And you – all suited and booted (and now, hitched!) Good going old chap!

    I think I am going to refer to the married couple as B224 from now on.

    nikhil: by all means. b224 has such a nice numerical ring to it…

    vijay: i’m trying to attract people here yaar, not repel them!
