Menaka chose beautiful fuschia and orange flowers to offset the beige of the sand, which gave the entire wedding a beautiful, festive look. This super-arty couple was so arty that they had a friend shoot the entire wedding with a Super 8 camera. Their DJ also spun vinyl the entire evening, and I have to say that even as a former musician and former college DJ, I had never heard most of the songs they played. This still baffles me. Menaka and Chris both got ready at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoteloceanasantamonica.com\/\">Oceana Hotel<\/a> in Santa Monica, which is a cool and very private boutique hotel.
