I looks out her hotel window as she is getting ready for her wedding ceremony on the steps of the Capitol in Sacramento.
Ida and Rajiv had their wedding ceremonies on the west steps of the California State Capitol in Sacramento. They had two ceremonies for their wedding, and American ceremony and a Persian ceremony. Very fun and very interesting to experience. I just love learning about how different cultures celebrate the joining of two lives.
Ida and Rajiv got ready for the wedding in their suites at the Sheraton Gran Hotel in Sacramento. The wedding reception was held in the ballroom of the Sacramento Convention Center. Kendra Pfeiffer-Wershing of Pfeiffer Event Planning coordinated the wedding – as always she was a joy to work with. Flowers were done by Sarah Acrich of Cuttings, catering was done by Famous Kabob and the cake was created by Blatters Fine Foods & Deserts.
A big shout out goes to Anne Williams who helped me with the photography at this wonderful wedding – thanks Anne, it’s always fun working with you!
And finally, congratulations to Ida and Rajiv – it was a really fun wedding and great to get to know the two of you!
