We were excited to attend Sasha and Berton's wedding so close to home - only 4 blocks away! Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, and it was chilly and wet all day, but nothing ruin this party. Sasha's family travelled from India, Massachusettes and Illinois, and Berton's family came from Ohio to witness the nuptials. Despite the weather, everyone had a lovely time.
The soon-to-be joined families pose for a few pictures before the ceremony. Luckily, the rain stopped just in time.
Jason, a very good friend of the bride and groom, welcomed the guests and introduced the families.
