«Hindu & catolice wedding. Multicultural destination wedding in Sevilla«
Una chica española y un chico inglés con raíces indias que se enamoran en Londres y deciden celebrar su amor en una boda multicultural de 3 días en Sevilla. ¿Y que fue lo que más nos llamó la atención? Su delicadeza y admiración el uno por el otro. Se hablan con sonrisas, se hacen reír a cada minuto, amables, amigos… Una pareja muy equipo y con mucha personalidad.
Ambos pudieron enseñar al otro la importancia de su cultura. Ambas familias recibieron los rituales culturales del otro con los brazos abiertos.
Tuvimos el placer de vivir los rituales de una ceremonia hindú: el día del Mehndi, al día siguiente una ceremonia que se iniciaba con el Baraat, la llegada al ritmo de la música del novio mientras la novia nos sorprendía con un vestido rojo con adornos de oro, el Sari. La ceremonia concluía colocándose dos collares llenos de flores al cuello dando lugar a un coctel relajado en la piscina. Unos días llenos de color, cantos y sobretodo, gente feliz deseando a los novios una vida larga y plena.
Los días de celebración se cerraban con el día de la ceremonia católica, con Sonia vestida de blanco con las manos y pies de henna embellecidos con mosaicos.
Abrazos, signos, rituales y bailes durante 3 días. Cuando se trata de celebrar el amor, ni la cultura ni el idioma nos separan.
Elena is pure light and, according to her, rather than see the glass half full, she prefers to fill it. Javi and his bright blue eyes, since childhood he is known as «Happy».
With such a presentation, it is not surprising that they chose Cuba as the perfect place to get married because Elena and Javi could perfectly be a «Shiny happy people» … in Havana.
All this light and joy, pushed them to take love one step further, making their wedding a Cuban experience for everyone: The experience of knowing the Cuban roots of Elena, from the moment they decided to marry in the same church in which years ago, their grandparents got married. The experience of living in our own skin (and feet) the Cuban flow in 3 days of celebration! But above all, the wonderful experience of seeing how love crosses frontiers.
Is amazing to see how there are guests coming from different parts of the world to share that moment of happiness … but in this case, all of them were from different places! I could say that 99% of the guests were from anywhere, except Cuba. And there we all were, some of us working, others as guests, but aaall of us … enjoying their particular Cuban party, celebrating and spreading love all around!
It is amazing what the energy and positivity of Elena and Javi can do, and the number of smiles that always surround them. But, when a couple radiates love in this way … it receives it in huge quantities!
I always say that the more love you give, the better you are, and at weddings like this I could saw it with my own eyes (and camera), because every time I see these photos I travel back to the beautiful and colorful Havana, living again those three days of celebration of love that Elena and Javier gave us.
A BUNCH OF THANKS.
