I’m Amy Regeti, your host, guide, and friend on this journey. As an Indian–American fusion wife of 25+ years, mom, daughter, sister, and professional wedding photographer for nearly two decades, I’ve lived firsthand the beauty and challenges of blending love, culture, and family.
Every week, I share honest conversations, cultural insights, and practical wisdom for South Asian brides, fusion couples, and the families who love them. From navigating traditions and in-laws to raising kids and living proudly without judgment — SAWL is your safe, inclusive space to feel seen and supported.
And yes — my husband, Srinu, is right here with me. He may not be on every episode, but once a month he joins me for a longer, heart-to-heart chat — bringing his perspective as a husband, dad, son, and our behind-the-scenes rock. Together, we share the lessons, laughter, and love we’ve lived over 25+ years of marriage.
Whether you’re planning a wedding or navigating life after, SAWL is your tribe.

It’s one of the biggest debates in wedding planning—should you join your guests for cocktail hour, or take that time for portraits, outfit changes, and a much-needed breather? In this episode, we’re gonna talk pros and cons of each choice, how cultural expectations play a role (especially in South Asian weddings), and whether you can strike the perfect balance between mingling and maximizing your wedding photography. Plus, I’ll share my best tips to ensure you don’t miss out—whether you’re sipping on a signature cocktail or sneaking in a private moment together before the reception.
