Inside the L.A. home of ER star Parminder Nagra, and photographer James Stenson, friends and family gathered to watch the couple wed in a Sikh ceremony, known as the "Anand Karaj" on Jan. 17.
The translation, "blissful union," was fitting, as the British-born couple, who are expecting their first baby this summer, merged traditions from the East and West in a daylong celebration of dancing and music.

Parminder, 33, whose parents are from the Punjab region of India, and James, 34, were blessed by an Indian priest in the afternoon, then moved to the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills for a civil ceremony officiated by Parminder’s recently ordained ER castmate Maura Tierney.
Two of the NBC show’s other stars, John Stamos and Scott Grimes, offered their services in the form of a wedding band, their gift to the couple.
Guests dined on Indian- and British-inspired dishes like beef tenderloins and vegetable samosas, while being entertained by the Indian dance troupe Bollywood Step.

John Stamos is ready to hang up his scrubs for good.
The actor, who plays Dr. Tony Gates on ER, says that he won’t be spinning off his character into a new series when the medical drama ends next year.
“[I’ve] never offered but there’s been talk about that,” he tells Extra. “I’m really having a great time doing the show and we’re still cranking out good quality. So, I think when they’re done, I’m ready to go off into the sunset.”
He’s not the only one. His co-star, Maura Tierney, recently said she’s ready to be done with her character, Dr. Abby Lockhart, as well. But before they can bid adieu next season – the long-running series’ 15th – there are still storylines to be wrapped up for this season – some of which are proving to be hazardous for John. While shooting a love scene with Linda Cardellini, the 44-year-old failed to make a good impression.
"I bashed her in the nose and I couldn’t get her bra off," he says. "And she was like, ‘I thought you’d be better at this.’"

If Maura Tierney had her way, Abby Lockhart will be dead by the time ER ends next year.
"I want them to kill me," she tells AOL. "And they won’t. They refused to kill Abby."
It’s easy to see why.
Since Maura joined the show eight years ago, she’s grown into a fan favorite and the medical drama’s default female lead, working with dramatic story arcs that saw her go from nurse to doctor, deal with alcoholism and romancing Noah Wyle and Goran Visnjic.
But after nearly 10 years, the 43-year-old, who earned an Emmy nomination in 2001 for her work, is ready to check out of the ER for good. The show will return for a 15th and final season next year.
"I’ve been on the show for a long time," she says. "I had a really great time there, but ti’s been almost a decade, and part of me is ready to move on, but part of me is going to be very sad about it."
Having a year to prepare for the impending finale is an advantage though.
"I think it’s a great thing for the cast and the crew," the actress says. "And I think it’s a great thing that [producer] John Wells and all the rest of the writers know that it’s ending and have time to prepare for it and finish it in a way that’s thoughtful."
Maura, who says to expect more drama from her relationship with Luka (Visnjic) for the remainder of the season, most likely won’t jump into another series afterwards — if only because nothing would compare to her ER experience.
"I feel the same way I felt when NewsRadio ended, which is that I didn’t want to do another sitcom right away, because I loved the show," she says. "I couldn’t imagine another sitcom that would come to me that was as good or as fun as that. And I feel the same way now about ER."
That would leave her more time for films. Maura can be seen in Tina Fey’s surrogate mother laugh-fest Baby Mama next week.
"I play Tina Fey’s sister, who’s uber-fertile. It was really fun, and with Tina, Amy Poehler, Sigourney Weaver and Holland Taylor, it was a great generational span of crazy women."
