Every detail was deeply personal for the designer couple.
Emily Adams Bode Aujla and Aaron Aujla had been together for close to a decade when he finally proposed on the eve of her 30th birthday in the summer of 2019. “We spent our twenties together, figuring out what the rest of our lives would be,” he recalls. “We have spent a lot of time working through life’s ups and downs, and we had always found each other in these moments of like,In my head, I always knew I wanted to propose to Emily in our twenties.
The couple approached their nuptials with that same energy. Aaron set about getting the house ready: building tables, laying 400 feet of driveway, and tending to the plant life. They did not hire a wedding planner, but instead enlisted the team at. “It needed to be almost seen as an extension of our life and our work,” Aaron explains. “We knew we wanted it to have a personal touch.
Other items were brought in by Aaron’s family in India, like the specific metal trays used in one of the traditional ceremonies. “They are gorgeous, there’s a spot for your spoon, a spot for your Aloo Gobi and your dahl, and the khatta goes in each compartment so that they don't mix. It was really important that we got the real thing,” Aaron explains. “We now have 500 aluminum plates in our basement,” they laugh.
“At this point guests came for dinner, and there's this really fun thing where Emily and I are sitting on this hut that Ben and I made out of mahogany and dried coconuts, and guests come and we welcome them as a family unit, and then they take a dollar bill and wave it around your head and then drop it in your lap as a gesture of congratulations and good luck,” Aaron explains. After that, it was dinner and traditional Indian dancing known as Jaggo.
