Westin Diplomat Hollywood Florida Indian Wedding Engagement

The luscious greens and the clean architecture of the Diplomat Resort & Spa Hollywood provided a great backdrop for this sweet couple’s pre-engagement photos. These two were just moments away from their official engagement ceremony and they could not stop smiling and laughing.“[In Indian tradition], months before the wedding an engagement ceremony is held. The two families meet to perform rituals to make the engagement official. The couple is then blessed by elders of both families and is given gifts including jewelry and clothing by their new family. In certain traditions, the engagement is marked by the exchange of rings between the bride and groom to be. Indian engagement ceremonies are a sort of prequel to the main weddings, involving close friends and relatives.”
