Booker documented the vibrant fusion of cultures in three engaging videos, showcasing the unique blend of customs that made the event stand out. Nick Booker embraced every moment of the wedding festivities, which united families from two distinct Indian states. In one of his widely shared videos, he revealed that he was attending his cousin’s wedding in coastal Karnataka. The celebration was hosted by the bride’s family, while his Punjabi relatives made the journey from California. And what was the outcome? A full-fledged “South vs. North” matchup. “South India meets North India – Shravya and Rajiv’s wedding in Mangalore,” Nick Booker wrote in the caption of his viral post, adding, “My Punjabi relatives sure know how to move – didn’t stop for over 12 hours! Wonderful celebration combining some beautiful sacred and a lot of fun. Wishing Shravya and Rajiv all the best for their life ahead.” Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by IndoGenius | Nick Booker (@indogenius) Nick Booker and his extended family were seen dancing in the video, spontaneously breaking into moves as the bride’s side joined in. The music and dance were just one aspect of the cultural fusion. In another post, the British influencer shared his fascination with the traditional instruments he encountered during the wedding. He highlighted how they added depth and authenticity to the celebration. “Have you ever attended a South Indian wedding? I was very moved by several of the rituals I was experiencing up close for the first time,” Nick Booker wrote. “At the wedding, I saw two stunning drums. The Thavil — a barrel drum from Tamil Nadu, made from jackwood and hide — is played with one hand (with metal finger caps) and one stick. It’s often paired with the nadaswaram, but this time, a saxophone and flute took over!” Nick Booker added in his lengthy post. Highlighting other instruments he saw at the wedding, Nick Booker said, “Then there’s the Chende from Kerala — a vertical cylindrical drum played with two sticks. Loud and dramatic, it’s key to temple festivals and Kathakali, and marks the muhurtham with thunderous energy. The chende drummers were absolutely ripped!” View this post on Instagram A post shared by IndoGenius | Nick Booker (@indogenius) The ceremonies Nick Booker witnessed and the cuisine he sampled during the reception party left a lasting impression on him, as he expressed in another part of his post.
