The invites describe a formal/traditional attire for the Wedding Reception. Formal basically means suits for the guys and dresses for ladies. If you want to go traditional route, that can be a Pakistani Sherwani or Kurta Sherwani for the gents and Saris/Lehengas/etc. for the gals.
Because we love snow. No jk, we hate the cold. Ali's family lives in Troy and thought it would be nice to host the wedding close by so a lot of friends and families could attend.
Maybe? Maybe not? We're not wizards, we can't tell the future. It's been snowy there during the first weekend of November, and it's been warm and gorgeous. It really all depends on how kind the weather gods are.
