Wedding FAQs

What time should I arrive on Friday?

Friday is a more casual gathering from 4p to 9:30p. Please join us if you can. Don't forget to RSVP so we can plan dinner accordingly.

What time should I arrive on Saturday?

We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the Baraat begins to allow time for the pre-ceremony festivities. Immediately following the Baraat, you will be guided towards the seating for the ceremony. Please review the Itinerary Page for more information about the festivities.

What should I expect between the ceremony and reception?

There will be a ~3 hour break between the ceremony and reception where guests can enjoy a light lunch. Generally, this time is meant for guests to rest and transition into their evening reception look. Otherwise, there will be a designated area for guests to unwind and chat before the start of the cocktail hour and reception. Please review the Itinerary Page for more information about the festivities.

What should I wear to the wedding?

You are welcome to wear any elegant wedding attire you would like and/or also welcome to embrace the Indian fusion culture by wearing traditional Indian attire, such as sarees, lehengas, or anarkalis for women or sherwanis for men. However, the most important thing is for you to wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and beautiful!

Is there a dress code for Friday's Welcome Celebration?

Friday’s event is casual but dress to impress! Whether you prefer a stylish casual look or a little festive flair, feel free to dress in a way that makes you feel great for an evening of games, speeches, and mehendi.

How should I dress for the Saturday Ceremony?

In Indian weddings, there is traditionally a difference between ceremony and evening attire. For the morning Fusion Ceremony, you can wear Indian attire including sarees or lehengas, or your "Sunday Best". Men can opt for kurta pajamas, sherwanis, or a dressy outfit they feel comfortable in.

What about the Saturday Evening Reception?

Saturday evening is all about bringing your best wedding attire! Whether that’s a classic formal gown, Indian attire, a suit, or your best wedding outfit, the goal is to dress your best and celebrate in style. If you’d love to participate in the cultural fusion, Indian evening wear is always welcome.

Are there any cultural traditions I should be aware of?

Yes! Our wedding is a beautiful fusion of our cultures, blending Hindu Telugu, Mexican, and Guatemalan traditions with a modern celebration.

Harish comes from a Telugu Indian background and proudly calls Chicago his hometown. Wendy is Mexican-Guatemalan, originally from California, but now calls Houston home.

Throughout the wedding, guests will experience meaningful traditions and cultural fusion with Mexican, Guatemalan, and Indian influences, reflected in the ceremony, music, and cuisine.

We’re excited to share these traditions with our loved ones and make this a truly unforgettable celebration!
