Some weddings are planned around a destination, season, or family expectations. Brooklyn-based\u00a0Rhea Almeida<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Jaime Ford<\/strong> planned their walk down the aisle around a sunset. “We both loved the idea of a waterfront property in order to get that perfect sunset ‘I do’.” The brides had already been legally married in New York since 2024, but a courthouse certificate was never going to be the full story. Rhea, a policy expert leading digital advocacy campaigns for an education policy think tank, and Jaime, an art director and illustrator, knew their real wedding had to happen in Mumbai, in front of Rhea’s family, on the coastline that raised her.
