Weding Dress 2015: Twenty-One Films

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sally Oakley of <a href="http://www.sallyoakley.com/" target="_blank">Sally Oakley Personalized Wedding Planning</a> sent Candace and Pesh (full name Rupesh) my way back last September. We met and because I have done quite a number of Hindu/American blended ceremonies, they chose me to officiate. They were delighted that their ceremony could be very couple-specific which includes the story of how they met and fell in love, what they love about each other, and they could write their own secret vows. They have a great love story! See the story of their engagement at this post: <a href="http://raleighweddingblog.blogspot.com/search?q=Candace+and+Pesh" target="_blank">Candace and Pesh</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC2phNNxa-LPq_4avvRBDccML6i-lAYVbGI_x3VG0r7lqAcfVi4TcuSJ9yMFXLpJonxym-QyryyvoeJjP8saGmleMVtbzFs9pm61LRC6NwUHXdTqeqqhvd4ssu6I-tSx_imPbxx6JdFFE/s1600/DSCN1241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC2phNNxa-LPq_4avvRBDccML6i-lAYVbGI_x3VG0r7lqAcfVi4TcuSJ9yMFXLpJonxym-QyryyvoeJjP8saGmleMVtbzFs9pm61LRC6NwUHXdTqeqqhvd4ssu6I-tSx_imPbxx6JdFFE/s1600/DSCN1241.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Their gorgeous wedding was held at the prestigious <a href="http://prestonwood.com/Weddings---Special-Events.aspx" target="_blank">Prestonwood Country Club</a> in Cary.
