Monika and Derek met at their job, while working on a mutual project. Derek's brother tried to warn him that she was very particular. But after a night outside of the office, they realized just how much they enjoyed each other's company. And from then on, they were an item. It was on Thanksgiving a year ago when Derek proposed while watching a video he and Monika's family had pre-recorded. It was a silly dance music video where at the end, Derek was opening a box. When Monika turned to look at him while she was seated on the couch, he was opening the real box at the same time. They decided on a beautiful wedding at the Sandpearl's pool lawn, and while rain threatened to relocate the ceremony, a few minutes' delay allowed them the chance to proceed with their dream ceremony. Monika selected a gorgeous modern silver gown by designer Vera Wang, which set the style of her fuchsia and silver color theme. Of paramount importance to Monika and Derek was their guests' ability to enjoy themselves. So after a traditional Indian ceremony on Friday - complete with a henna painting for not only Monika but her bridesmaids, too - they had a traditional American ceremony on Saturday. The couple and their friends are huge football fans, so throughout the day, they laughed and rooted for their teams in football huddles - even right after the reception's bridal party introductions! Such a fun night for such a spicy, fun, and lively couple! Congratulations, Monika and Derek!
