When they finally met, they felt like knowing each other for a long time, like DeJavu.  What a nice love story and we are glad to be part of their joyful celebration! We were blessed with a very nice autumn weather, pleasant & breezy, 72 degrees is just perfect for a nice wedding by the lake.  Pleasantdale Chateau is an exquisite, magnificent estate full of scenic spots, indeed a photographer's heaven. We experienced a very fun groom's procession (baraat) full of  dances & joy while Devika was peeking the whole process from a private tower right above the garden.  The night reception is more fun with energetic 13-piece live band from The groove Shop & Silver Pro Entertainment, full of nice speeches & group dances with all the loving family and friends.  ps.  For all the Indian wedding brides who are considering outdoor ceremony in New Jersey & New York area, the best time to conduct outdoor ceremony in summer/fall  will be in between 4-6 pm (definitely not in between 9 am to 3 pm, move it to indoor if the weather forecast says  it will be above 75 degrees).  You & your guests will thank us very much with this timing tip.
