Film-Style has always had the unique pleasure of working with interfaith couples. Covering an interfaith marriage is loads of fun, not just because of the different cultural and religious traditions that are all wrapped up in one big happy package but also because it’s a rewarding experience to be able to see two very different worldviews, encompassed within those cultural and religious traditions, become as one. It’s a ‘feel good’ kind of wedding that enables and embraces differences even as it reconciles them within the institution of a marriage.
Sameera (the Muslim bride) and Jagan (the Sikh groom) proved to us once again this beauty of an interfaith union. On July 8th, this couple held their Sangeet/Holud where their respective cultural traditions were paid tribute to “desi-style,” with a lot of dancing and a lot of performances. And on July 9th, their respective religious traditions were honored and upheld at their respective religious ceremonies, with a lot of love and respect from their families.
We wish this couple great success in the future and a lot of happy new traditions in the making. Cheers!
Farah the bride is a wedding planner. Kazi the groom is a stand-up comedian. Considering the stress and strain of wedding planning, the comic relief provided by Kazi is likely a welcome and blessed break from all that stress. (Farah must have a laugh). And in case the stress of becoming humorless ever plagues Kazi, we’ve no doubt the traumas and dramas surrounding wedding planning are inexhaustible sources of jokes and jabs. (Kazi must have a blast).
All in all, this couple is a match made in heaven.
Farah and Film-Style have often worked together. Farah, a wedding planner for Sapna Weddings, became interested in our work upon seeing it at many a wedding. We were happy to shoot her wedding as well–a gem of tradition. A traditional Bengali Muslim wedding to be exact, filled with dancing during the mehndi and followed by a visually stunning reception.
Congrats guys and…Cheers!
