Tarun and Liz's wedding in Ravenswood

Our friends Tarun and Liz got married in a beautiful venue on the north side of the city.  Tarun and I have lots of mutual friends, so this wedding felt like a big reunion.

I was honored that Tarun and Liz asked me to read a poem during the ceremony.  I chose a passage from Tagore's Gitanjali.

Last minute review of the the poem while waiting for the train:

We love weddings that are a short hop away via train:

The wedding venue was an old billboard factory ...

... with sunlight streaming in from both sides through those fabulous giant windows:

Some of our crew:

Simple elegance:

They did the ceremony as the sun was setting, which was stunning.  Here I am getting nervous about my reading ...

The bride's arrival:

Friends forever:

The Wash U crew:

With the bride and groom:

T and his Mom:

I love this pic of me and Malini:

The Chandrans:

Somehow we convinced Nihal to get on the mic and sing Guns n' Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine."  It didn't take too much convincing.


His fans loved it:

As we were leaving, we discovered the first floor of the venue was an event space that doubles as a classic car museum! Pranav couldn't have been more thrilled:
