In a city as diverse as Washington, DC, Usha and Geoff epitomized blending of their cultures. Usha is Indian and Geoff is Chinese. Their Chinese-Indian fusion wedding at Meridian House in Washington, DC was inspired by their respective cultures, weaved throughout from the ceremony, to the cuisine, to the decor.
