Bride and groom during the religious ceremony.

Amita and Miguel were committed to marrying in 2020, due to a family agreement.  So after the first COVID-19 confinement, they managed to quickly organize their wedding.

The wedding had more or less 25 guests (their close family and friends).  Due to safety measures, they could only do the Hindu ceremony with no reception and party, at least in the Comunidade Hindu of Portugal venue.

It was almost 2.5 hours of emotive ceremony, where the barriers of 2 different cultures were broken for love's sake.
