When two grooms tied the knot in a traditional Hindu ceremony earlier this month, they didnt anticipate that their wedding photos would go viral.

The couple, Aditya Madiraju and Amit Shah , first got married in a small ceremony at New York City Hall in 2018, but later decided they wanted to throw a proper Indian celebration that could include more of their family and friends. They chose this summer because it coincided with a visit to the U.S. that Madirajus parents, who live in India, had already planned.

On July 18, the couple hosted a mehndi party in their backyard, followed by a traditional ceremony at a Hindu temple in New Jersey the next day. On July 20, they capped off the weekend with a sangeet-style reception at Pondicheri cafe in New York City.
