Syna and Vimal: Sacred Heart Church and Marriott Oak Brook Hotel

Andrew Collings — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 03:13:21 +0000

Syna and Vimal had a multi-day Wedding, beginning with Syna’s Mylangi Ceremony the night before the Christian wedding ceremony. Their ceremony was at Sacred Heart Church in Lombard and their reception was at the Marriott Oak Brook Hotel. Between the two, we made a trip to the gorgeous Morton Arboretum for some fun wedding party photos.

Super Sister and Maid of Honor Nisha sang at both the Ceremony and Reception and wowed the crowd twice!

Syna changed into her traditional dress for the 2nd half of the Reception.

The dancing wouldn't stop!
