Engagement Feature

tdomf_e4a57 — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 22:10:35 +0000

Good Day,
We, Jordan and Rohita are New York natives who are in-love and after 7 years together are taking the next step in our lives toward marriage by getting engaged.
Our story is extraordinary and proof of the kismet nature of the world. In the midst of disaster on August 14, 2003, also known as The Great Northeast Power Blackout of 2003, we found love walking down the streets of NYC. Like everyone else that day Rohita and Jordan were forced to walk to their destination and on 75th Street and 1st Avenue Jordan and Rohita bumped into one another. It happened that Rohita’s friend (whom she was walking with) was a childhood friend of Jordan so introduction was simple. We spent the night talking, exchanging our phone numbers and have had a whirlwind romance since then.
On October 24, 2010, Jordan told Rohita that they were going to dinner so they got dressed up and began walking towards their destination. On the corner of 75th and 1st Jordan points to a perfectly set up table with two champagne glasses and a small chocolate blackout cake and says, “what’s that?” He starts to lure her over to the table and immediately her jaw drops. She becomes silent, which for Ro is a miracle in itself. A crowd gathers and a paparazzi photographer jumps out of the bushes and starts taking pictures. Ro is absolutely stunned and begins crying immediately. Jordan drops to one knee, pulls out the ring and says “will you make me the happiest man in the world and do me the honor of being my wife?” Ro screams, “Yes! Yes! Yes!” and gives him the world’s biggest hug. He puts the ring on her finger and the crowd goes wild. At that point a group of young children, who were trick or treating early saw this all happen. They stop, they cheer and come over to Jordan and Ro and give them a big hug.
After some more hugging, kissing and applause they sat and enjoyed champagne and cake. Throughout the celebration passer bys continued with the congratulatory remarks and well wishes, one woman even came to kiss both of their hands.
Our friends and family enjoy our love story and are Engagement. We would like to share our story and our Engagement with the world. Our story gives hope that Love is real, it does exist and the world works in miraculous ways.
In accordance with Hindu tradition, there will be an Engagement Ceremony held on Sunday, November 28, 2010 at 2:30PM at Shri Lakshmi Narayan Mandir (128-04 Liberty Avenue Queens, NY). Our engagement party is scheduled for Sunday, December 12, 2010 at 2PM at Honey (243 W14 Street New York, NY).
We are writing to your publication in hopes to have our Engagement Announcement and future Wedding featured. Please let us know how we can go about attaining this, it would mean the world to us. Thank you for your time and for reading our story. Our pictures, website and contact information are included in this correspondence.
Sincerely,
Rohita & Jordan

Submit a Bollywood-eqse Love Story, Proposal & Wedding

tdomf_e4a57 — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 22:10:32 +0000

Do you believe that in this day and age that a boy and a girl could meet walking down a NYC street during a catastrophic event, fall in love and seven years later get engaged to be married? Well, on August 14, 2003 a Blackout hit the Northeast portion of the US and parts of Canada. Jordan and Rohita met, walking down the street on the Upper East Side. They fell in love and they got engaged on October 24, 2010 at the very spot they met! This is the perfect couple to be featured as a part of your publication.

The day of the Blackout, Rohita left work and walked with a friend towards the Upper East Side. They were headed to her friend’s father to get a ride home since there was no public transportation. Jordan just finished a real estate closing; he picked up his dog (Snoopy…now our dog) and dropped him at his parent’s house which was also on the Upper East Side. On his way down and her way up, right on the South East corner of 75th Street and 1st Avenue they met. Rohita’s friend happened to be a childhood friend of Jordan’s, so introduction was simple. They locked eyes and before you know it they fell in love. Together they travelled the world they built their lives, careers, dreams and network of supporters.

October 24, 2010 Jordan told Rohita that they were going to dinner, so they got dressed up and began walking. There on the corner of 75th and 1st (sound familiar? It was where the couple met!) Jordan points to a perfectly set up table with two champagne glasses and a small chocolate blackout cake and says, “what’s that?” He starts to lure her over to the table and immediately her jaw drops. She becomes silent, which for Ro is a miracle in itself. A crowd gathers and a paparazzi photographer jumps out of the bushes and starts taking pictures. Ro is absolutely stunned and begins crying immediately. Jordan drops to one knee, pulls out the ring and says “will you make me the happiest man in the world and do me the honor of being my wife?” Ro screams, “Yes! Yes! Yes!” and gives him the world’s biggest hug. He puts the ring on her finger and the crowd goes wild. At that point a group of young children, who trick or treating early saw this all happen. They stop, they cheer and come over to Jordan and Ro and give them the biggest hug they could.

After some more hugging, kissing and applause they say and enjoyed champagne and cake. Throughout the celebration passer bys continued with the congratulatory remarks and well wishes, one woman even came to kiss both of their hands.

One of the biggest Indian weddings of the year is taking place in Mumbai this week

Manisha Chawla — Wed, 19 May 2010 13:58:23 +0000

Th lavish wedding will take place at Mumbai's Turf Club

The pre-wedding celebrations for one of the biggest Indian weddings this year are well underway in Mumbai. The marriage of the eldest daughter of one of India’s most prominent industrialists, Champalal Vardnan, is due to take place on Friday 21^st, although the party has got into full swing ahead of the nuptials.

Vardnan’s daughter, Neelam, is due to marry Tushar Parekh. The match is an arranged marriage and Neelma’s father is said to be very happy with Tushar as he believes he will make a great son-in-law.

10 separate events have been planned to celebrate the union. A number of parties have been organised in the run-up to the big day including some unusual events like a bingo night and a DJ evening, as well as the more traditional occasions like a formal sangeet and mehendi.

The bingo night has already taken place and was a hit with the many guests as the prizes which were on offer were extremely extravagant. Those who were lucky enough to get a “full house” on the night received prizes in the form of state of the art mobile phones, luxury holidays, and even sports cars.

The wedding itself is being held at the Turf Club on Friday and is expected to be a huge occasion with somewhere in the region of 5,000 guests scheduled to attend.

Indian wedding guests hospitalised with suspected food poisoning

Manisha Chawla — Tue, 18 May 2010 11:27:00 +0000

A suspected case of food poisoning has been reported at a wedding banquet in North India

It’s been reported that in the region of 100 people in North of India have been hospitalised with suspected food poisoning after attending a wedding banquet in the village of Bhojpur.

The occasion was held in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India’s northern district of Bijnor. The guests at the wedding were said to have contracted symptoms commonly associated with food poisoning after eating at the wedding celebrations.

100 people have been admitted to a local hospital for medical treatment, 12 of whom are said to be in a critical state.

A team of health and safety officials have descended upon the establishment in question, which has not been named, to carry out a thorough investigation. Food which was served during the wedding banquet has been taken away for testing to try and determine the source of the poisoning. The chief medical officer for the state has been drafted in to investigate the situation.

In the past establishments have been hit with hefty fines when an incident of food poisoning has been traced back to their catering.

It’s been suggested that catering for Indian weddings in the heat of summer can be a risky task as food spoils very quickly due to the soaring temperatures. Plus the added danger of flies infecting food during this time also poses another health food risk meaning catering staff must be extra vigilant to prevent incidents of food poisoning at Indian weddings.
