Roshni
+ Elliot
THEIR STORY
India, Italy and America converged at the wedding of Roshni Shah (28 and a clinical psychologist) and Elliot Wheeler (32 and a chief
investment officer). “We wanted to be sensitive to our families’ traditions, while still representing ourselves as a couple,” Roshni says. To
honor Elliot’s Sicilian heritage, they served pasta at the Indian sangeet the night before the wedding, then had a Western ceremony with a
Hindu exchange of garlands. Elephants, an Indian symbol of wisdom and strength, appeared on the seating chart and Mike’s cuff links. —RD
