The next day, we had a wedding event in the morning, and then the plan was to go to the Griffith Observatory for sunset.  The wedding was beautiful and nothing like I’d ever experienced before. It was the first Sikh wedding I had ever attended. It started with the groom coming up the road in […]

On our second day in LA, we didn’t have any wedding events to attend. That meant we had the entire day to explore. Wohoo! We planned to spend the day driving along the pacific coast hwy and checking out some beaches in the Malibu area. However, there was something we needed to do first. The […]

Nisheet and I have been married for an entire year! And have been together for 10 years! I don’t know where the time has gone, but I do know that we have had so many fun adventures together and will have many more. To celebrate this milestone, we planned an anniversary cruise for months. I’ve […]
