ERICA & ANUJ

Half Moon Bay, CA

“We met on November 10, 2017 on Bumble. Originally connected over our taste in music but the conversation blossomed into much more, so the first meet up felt seamless. I was running late so I texted Anuj to let him know that I'd be there soon and he'd recognize me as soon as I came in - I love how he remembers this moment because he says when the doors opened and he saw me wearing disco boots and a big smile, he knew something special was about to happen.”

Maharani Erica hadn’t given her wedding a sliver of thought until the day she had a ring on her finger. In the expert hands of Denise Lillie, Erica formed her own vision for the event by delicately blending her laid back California style with Indian customs.

Originally, we set for three magnificent days of events with 300 guests, Erica & Anuj had to change all their plans. They ended up having a wonderfully intimate Half Moon Bay wedding that felt dreamy, authentic to themselves, and we might add drop dead gorgeous!

In true covid fashion, and no dance floor, the room was instead adoringly filled with eloquent, and tear-inducing toasts for the bride & groom that flooded the evening with warmth and humor. Having your loved ones pour so much effort into showering a couple with love is one 2020 tradition we hope is here to stay!
