Access Hollywood host Tony Potts and his fiancée, international TV personality Shalini Vadhera, tied the knot in a spiritual and private Indian-inspired ceremony at Lake Shrine in the Pacific Palisades last month (June 24).

The 47 year-old groom wore a traditional Indian outfit, which included a silver and beaded long coat called a sherwani and silver and gold khusa shoes, while the bride wowed in a beautiful Indian-inspired silk and organza gown with hundreds of hand-beaded pearls and crystals designed by Alia Khan.

“Shalini said to me a long time ago that ‘every woman should be an Indian bride,’ and now, after this absolutely gorgeous day, I understand why,” Tony tells Life & Style.

“I feel very blessed to have her and all that she brings into my life,” says Tony, who says he loves Shalini for her kindness and beauty on both the inside and out. “I feel love on a daily basis.”

Tony and Shalini, who have been dating for more than two years, planned to marry next summer, but they changed their plans because the groom’s dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2010. Tony’s father attended the wedding as his son’s best man. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
