Molly and Adil’s Wedding: The Adarni Ceremony

Stories Documented, Wedding  //  

Today is a big day friends! We have been so so so excited to share Molly and Adil’s wedding weekend with you and now is the time! ;) We have a full day planned of photos from Molly and Adil’s AMAZING wedding celebration on the Eastern Shore! And then tomorrow… we have something extra special! It is the cherry on top and you will not want to miss it!

As you may remember from the Behind The Scenes post about Molly and Adil’s incredible wedding cake, Molly and Adil’s wedding had some extra special details that we were honored to have been able to capture as we spent the weekend with them!  Their wedding celebrations actually started on Thursday (well actually it started earlier in the week when their guests began arriving from all over the world! ;), but the formal events started Thursday). They kicked off the weekend with a Parsi Wedding Tradition called the Adarni.

This was the first time that we had ever been a part of this tradition, so we were super excited and did some research beforehand! We learned that this ritual is all about gift giving! ;) How much fun is that?!? Everyone who is related to the Bride and Groom… including the Bride and Groom, of course, receive gifts! What we loved most about this celebration for Molly and Adil was that it was actually the first time that many of their family members had met each other! It was such a beautiful evening and the perfect relaxing environment to bring everyone together and make their engagement official! Let the wedding festivities begin! ;)
