Bina & Richie’s Montana elopement in Glacier National Park is like an epic rom-com, but with a million times better scenery. Imagine starting your day at the windy Two Medicine picnic area—*insert messy hair don’t care vibes*—then blending American and Indian traditions in a ceremony that would make both Bollywood and Hollywood proud. This Indian wedding in the US was definitely one for the books!

With their fam braving the chilly Montana air (shoutout to LA peeps freezing in the wilds), they hiked with their pups, Sargent & Arthur, had an emotional waterfall moment, and embraced every stunning mountain view in Many Glacier. If you need to know how to elope with your pups, we’re pros! That’s an Indian wedding in the US tradition I want to keep forever! There are certain pros and cons of eloping in Glacier, but one of the biggest pros are the EPIC ceremony spots with just you, your loved ones, and the mountains. 

This day was everything: intimate, hilarious, and, in Tabby’s words, “Honestly, the whole day was amazing!” 🎥✨

Richie was a total photo pro, and while Bina isn’t usually camera-obsessed, she had the time of her life. Our Hive photographer, Tabby, made these two feel so comfortable! They laughed all day, dodged a trail closure at Lake Josephine like pros, and ended their adventure at Many Glacier Hotel, where the 70-200mm lens made the mountains pop like they were straight out of Lord of the Rings. And of course, no elopement adventure is complete without lantern-lit photos. *Cue dramatic music.*

Indian wedding traditions – what to expect at an Indian wedding

Indian weddings are honestly next level! They’re the sensory overload in the best way with vibrant ceremonies, lots of colors and of COURSE plenty of food. Expect a sacred and beautiful exchange of vows with traditions that go back thousands of years! Like the Baraat – where the groom arrives on a horse (or even an elephant if you’re lucky)! Richie arrived with his two dogs, so that must count! Picture the bride in a gorgeous red or gold lehenga, adorned with intricate mehndi designs, while the families come together for a super lively celebration that can last days!
