FAQs
Question
I got two save the dates, why?
Answer
The short answer is that we are having two weddings! One wedding will be in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Suraj grew up, and one will be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Cece grew up. The Albuquerque wedding will be a large three day, multi-event Indian wedding, whereas the Philadelphia wedding will be a smaller one day American wedding ceremony and reception. You will see there is a separate website for each wedding with specific details for each.
Question
What do I wear to an Indian wedding?
Answer
The Indian wedding will have multiple events with different color schemes. We will put together a webpage with example outfits for each event, as well as links to online and brick and mortar stores near our guest's homes to shop from. You are always welcome to run an outfit by Suraj or Cece if you would like.
Question
Are children invited to the wedding?
Answer
Yes! Your children are welcome at both of our weddings. There will be an opportunity when RSVPs are released to indicate whether or not you will be bringing you child so we can account for them properly.
Question
How should I travel to Albuquerque?
Answer
If you are out of town, getting to Albuquerque will certainly require flying, most likely with a layover as there are limited direct flights to the Albuquerque airport. We will update our travel page to include optimal flights from JFK, BOS, SFO, LAX, and PHL when they become available.
Question
Where should I stay if I am traveling to Albuquerque?
Answer
We are in the process of blocking a nearby hotel's rooms for the wedding weekend. We will let our guests know when these blocks are set and available to book.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
The weather in Albuquerque in May is generally warm and spring-like. Daytime averages are 79 F, and nighttime averages are 50 F.

Plus 1s are generally restricted to those in relationships, and will be indicated when you RSVP. If you have an extenuating circumstance please reach out to us and we can see if we can accommodate.
