"Planning an Indian wedding when my in-laws don’t speak English and we couldn’t communicate much was so challenging, but also the best thing ever," she said. 

"I learned so much about my husband's family and culture and truly embraced all of it."

This work "paid off in the best way possible," she said, adding that she is "so happy that all my friends and family and all of his friends and family blended so well together."

Her father, in particular, could not hide his joy at seeing his daughter all dressed up, as the viral video shows.

"When your American family sees you as an Indian Bride," Louzado captioned the video.

"I feel so loved and just in awe of how popular this video has become," she said. 

Rogers wore a lehenga, a two-piece outfit consisting of a cropped blouse and a long skirt, typically worn with a long scarf called a dupatta, says Indian clothing rental website Borrow the Bazaar. 

Many Indian brides wear red to their weddings as red is symbolic in India as the color of passion, prosperity and new beginnings, says wedding website Brides.com.

In India, the color white is commonly associated with funerals, so it is not normally worn at weddings.

Angelo Badalamenti, 'Twin Peaks' and 'Blue Velvet' composer, dead at 85

Composer Angelo Badalamenti, best known for creating scores for many David Lynch productions, including "Twin Peaks," "Blue Velvet" and "Mulholland Drive," died at the age of 85.

Badalamenti's family confirmed his death in a statement to Fox News Digital, saying he died Sunday of natural causes. The family described Badalamenti as a "loving husband, father and grandfather."

They said he died peacefully, surrounded by his family.

Born in Brooklyn in March 1937 to a fish market-owning father with a musical background (a percussionist in Sicily), Badalamenti grew up listening to Italian opera with his family. He started piano lessons at age 8 and went on to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the Manhattan School of Music.

During the summers he would play piano at resorts in the Catskills for the Borscht Belt acts.

After college, Badalamenti taught middle school. He composed a Christmas carol for his students that ended up on PBS and essentially launched his career in entertainment, where he wrote songs for Nina Simone ("Another Spring") and Nancy Wilson ("Face It Girl, It’s Over").

He also wrote songs for films like "Gordon’s War" and "Law and Disorder," but his big break came in 1986 when, through a series of industry connections starting with unit manager Peter Runfolo, he was asked to help Isabella Rossellini sing "Blue Velvet" for Lynch’s iconic film.

Badalamenti won the 1991 Grammy for pop instrument performance for "Twin Peaks Theme."
