It is no secret to those who know me that I am very passionate about horses. This equine love affair can be greater than many human relationships.

Somehow, ensconced as we are in the deep heat of summer, an exotic wedding seems like a sultry solution to our traditional mores. Nothing quite says lavish, sensual and provocative quite as well as Bollywood. The influences of the colorful East perpetrate an extraordinary beauty on such a stellar occasion.
