He also shared a few pictures where he is seen participating in one of the rituals during the wedding. “Every ceremony feels like a journey into the heart of tradition, leaving me in awe of the richness that defines this beautiful country. I wish the newlyweds a lifetime of love and happiness as they embark on this incredible journey together. Happy wedding season!” said the envoy. Garcetti’s love for India and its culture is not a new-found one. He fell in love with the country when he first visited here as a teenager, and life came a full circle for him when he took charge as the US Ambassador to India. “I came to India for the first time when I was a teenager. And even though the place has changed so much, the warmth and friendliness of everybody remains the same. There is such a rich life here, but at the same time, the hospitality and the connection between the people is what I fell in love with as a teen,” Times of India report quoted Garcetti as saying.
