John + Divya, a Heavenly Santa Fe Wedding
On perhaps one of the most gorgeous November days, sweethearts Divya and John made their love official with a colorful, multicultural, and joyful day in the middle of Santa Fe. These Minneapolis babes brought an incredible amount beauty to the Southwest for a truly unforgettable celebration.
These angels first met several years ago through mutual friends during a summer outing at karaoke bar, The Vegas Lounge. Upon feeling that initial spark, John proceeded to sing “Kryptonite” by 3 Doors Down on karaoke and even though Divya claims that she was unimpressed by his song choice, she was still drawn to him. And while both of these two were incredibly busy with work, school, and life, the stars finally aligned in winter of 2016, allowing for John and Divya to make their first date a reality. A few years down the road on their fifth anniversary, John proposed to Divya while out on a walk with their sweet pup, Phoebe and then surprised her with all of their close friends and family at a local brewery.
For their nuptials, these cuties knew that John’s home state of New Mexico would make the perfect backdrop for their multicultural wedding and immediately fell in love with La Fonda on the Plaza. Divya and John combined both of their backgrounds seamlessly into their day: from a Hindu ceremony to honor Divya’s family to a traditional ring exchange to an amazing outfit change during their reception. Every last inch of this day was full of color, love, and genuine happiness. Seeing these two absolutely blissed out during their first evening as newlyweds was truly such a dream, making this wedding one that we’ll never forget.
Cheers to these soulmates and all of their adventures ahead, we know that Divya and John will continue to bring so much light into this world.
