Signature Wedding: Meghana Chalasani & James Walter Steves
April 1, 2017
Infusing Indian culture with a little south Louisiana flair, Meghana and J.W. tied the knot in her family’s backyard, just as her parents had done many years earlier. With a custom altar, or mandap, hundreds of dangling marigolds and even a motorcycle entrance for J.W., the ceremony and all its accompanying events were as stunning as they were sentimental.
“We had an absolute ball,” says Meghana. “What I remember most is how serene and happy I felt as I married J.W. under the trees and our families became one.”
