This Is America's First Indian Lesbian Wedding; See Photos

Shannon saw Seema at a fitness class she teaches. She then turned to a fellow instructor and said "I’m going to marry her." 6 years later, they married

The love at first sight story is also America's first Indian lesbian wedding. While the nation is swiftly moving towards passing pro-LGBT legislation, the Indian community is still highly conservative, especially with sensitive issues like sexual orientation.

But, as the photos show, there was not even a hint of shame or fear at the occasion. Seema's family carried her to the wedding venue on a traditional 'Doli' by her family', and the ceremony featured ancient Hindu traditions.

Shannon wanted a bit of the classic American experience at the wedding, and was walked down the aisle by her mother. Photographer Steph Grant, who specialises in LGBT weddings has photographed their wedding in candid detail.
