Andrea + Ravi's Trinidad Reception :: August 2nd, 2008

Andrea + Ravi's wedding reception in Trinidad was KILLER! After having two days of ceremonies, everyone was ready to let loose and celebrate the newlyweds. When you have two cultures coming together at an event like this, there is always the risk that things will not mesh. But not with this crew! Everyone was up and dancing to whatever the song the DJ put on. The Trinidadians learned to Salsa from the Colombians and the Colombians learned to "screw in the lightbulb" from the Trinidadians. The night was incredibly fun! I had a blast capturing it - even working on these photos made me laugh out loud!

Whiskeysito!

Ravi's sister-in-law made these incredible centrepieces! She even cut down the bamboo herself.

Ravi's sister and a friend did a dance during dinner.

Apparently Ravi is not really a dancer so he surprised everyone at the reception: Andrea and himself had been taking salsa lessons just for this moment!

I love that they brought their signing board all the way down from Toronto. To view their engagement photos, please click here.

As I said, apparently Ravi is not really a dancer... but his sister, Sherry, who also acted as MC for the evening, forced him to come down for a dance with his Mom! I love this series of photos - particularly Andrea's reaction in number three.

The real dancer in the family was their little three year old niece!

Andrea's friend, Marina, who traveled from Toronto for the wedding was determined to catch the bouquet! Nice catch!

Are they not the cutest Mother-Daughter duo ever?!
