Beats, Bindis & Traditions — Anu ✧ Sedal

Anu’s vibrant South‑Asian heritage and Sedal’s West African roots collided in the most joyful way. A Hindu priest guided their extended, emotion‑filled vows while drummers and call‑and‑response chants wove in rhythms from Sedal’s homeland, creating a ceremony that felt both ancient and newly minted. Come reception time, guests searched for seats at tables named after the couple’s go‑to rap albums—“Illmatic” to “The Miseducation”—a nod to the soundtrack of their love story. And because every epic needs an origin scene, the pair slipped away for portraits at Maria’s Bar, the cozy corner where fate first introduced them. From sacred mantras to boom‑bap beats, their day proved that when cultures blend and music leads, the result is pure harmony.
