| Suresh and Sapna's Wedding On 6/30/06, I flew to Chicago for cousin Suresh's wedding, which took place on 7/2/06. He and Sapna Pandya met 1.5 years earlier in Chicago. The wedding and reception were truly grand, with about 550 people at the reception! (Click on thumbnails to view full-size images)
