Originally published on October 2, 2009, Caitlin and Vikrants two-part wedding is a favorite of ours because of the unique beauty of the couples American and Indian cultures coming together…

Todays Real Wedding of Caitlin and Vikrant is truly a double dose of gorgeousness! With two weddings taking place across the globe from each other, in Pennsylvania and then in Delhi, India, these two honored their strong family traditions and celebrated all that makes them unique. Photographer Jihan Abdalla was at both events, and the images she captured are nothing short of stunning!

In Caitlins parents backyard in rural Pennsylvania, the happy couple was married during a day filled with family, friends and total ease. In the morning there was a picnic at a friends farm where they got to rest, relax and take a dip in the pond.

Ive been looking forward to todays post for a while.  It all started a few weeks back (okay, more like a year ago with our Native American Thanksgiving dream palette) when I was itching for something new and different.  After doing the western native dream palette, I realized that our real wedding list was lacking in the Native American department.  And so the search began.  At the end of last weeks Cultural Attire-Meets Cake inspiration post, I hinted towards a wonderful discovery.  I was referring to todays real wedding inspiration: a traditional Navajo wedding in New Mexico whos cultural details, I cant even begin to describe.  How

Weve discussed this before, but some of you have expressed confusion in the comments lately, so I think it bears repeating.

The what to wear suggestions on the bottom of a wedding invite can be so bizarre, so Im going to go ahead and translate for you:

White tie is the most clear-cutand the one youre least likely to see. This is the only time, as a woman, Id feel obligated to wear a long dress. Guys wear tuxes with white shirts, ties, and vests.

For a black tie wedding, Im okay with wearing a dressy cocktail dress and nice shoes. (Rory would wear his tux, whichtrust meis super-cute.) The old rules of etiquette said women should wear long dresses, but as long as youre in the friends-of-the-bride-and-groom groupas opposed to the friends-of-the-parents groupI think a respectable, not-too-short short dress is fine.

Theres also creative black tie, which means guys are still expected to wear tuxes but they can have fun with their tie selection.
