			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a flash dance at Libu &#038; Reeja&#8217;s wedding reception! Not to mention a dance crew that could try out for FOX&#8217;s TV show, &#8220;So You Think You Can Dance.&#8221;  If you are not familiar with &#8220;Flash dances&#8221; they are when people gather quickly in a &#8216;flash&#8217; and start dancing together.  If you haven&#8217;t seen the flash dance video on <a href="http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090908-tows-flash-mob-dance">Oprah&#8217;s 24th Season Kickoff episode with the Black Eyed Peas</a> in downtown Chicago, it is definitely worth checking out. (I get goosebumps every time I watch it)</p>
<p>But let&#8217;s rewind for a minute and start off the wedding photos with a little getting ready action at the <a href="http://doubletree.com/">Double Tree Hotel</a> in Schaumburg, IL</p>
<p>Reeja&#8217;s wedding Sari-<br />

<p>I love the details-<br />

<p>There was an Indian traditional ceremony at the hotel before we left for the Church.<br />

<p>We caught up with the guys at the St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church (1220 South 60th Court in Cicero, IL)<br />

<p>Another important Indian tradition is to tie a necklace behind your bride- and there is a specific way to tie the knot.<br />
