Celebration in the City.

Story by: Starlight Williams

They met in high school on a party bus at their post ring dance. While it took them a few years to start seriously dating, Praveen and Katie knew they found the “one” in each other.

Once Praveen got the ring, he couldn’t wait to propose. Praveen had asked Katie for a favor at his job. On their way to his car, Praveen unexpectedly dropped down to one knee and proposed. Of course, Katie said, “Yes!”

Strongly in touch with Praveen’s Indian heritage, the couple chose a Hindu Ceremony and a traditional New Orleans celebration for the reception.

“I mainly just wanted everyone to have a great time,” Katie says. “Even though there was a lot of traditional Indian influence involved, I wanted to make sure the spirit of New Orleans still coursed throughout the entire event, because our city is the best in the world.”

A true representation of their love for each other and where they come from, Praveen and Katie ended the night in wedded bliss. Katie says her favorite part of the day was at the end of the ceremony, when she and Praveen stood at the edge of the Orpheum stage, holding hands and looking out at everyone.
