Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is getting married Thursday afternoon in a traditional Hindu Vedic ceremony in Kahaluu.

Gabbard, 33, is marrying Abraham Williams, 26, a cinematographer whom she met during her campaign for Congress.

People magazine reported that the outdoor ceremony was planned by Gabbard’s younger sister Vrindavan, a U.S. Marshall.

“It’s a ceremony that has been used and practiced by the followers of the Vedas from India for thousands of years. Some of the ceremony will be in Sanskrit, which is the language of the Vedas, and some will be in English. Overall though, we’re in Hawaii and it’s going to be a Hawaiian-style Hindu wedding,” Gabbard told People. 

“We’ll be exchanging vows that we are writing ourselves and that portion will be in English,” she adds. “Once the ceremony is done, there’s a celebration with different prayers and singing and dancing and a nice, fun party.” Williams arranged for his friends to play music and may sing a song at the reception. 

The reception will be informal, with a meat-free dinner, since both bride and groom are vegetarians. 

Gabbard told People she has been so busy that she wasn’t sure what her wedding dress would look like as of last week.

But she said friends helped design it and the look is Hindu-inspired.
