SMVFA volunteers carrying the bride

Veenita Singh was the bride on the float

Just crossed over the railroad tracks on Sierra Madre Blvd.

The float on its way to Kersting Court, around Mt. Trail

Kids wait patiently for it to arrive

The truck arrives at Kersting Court, precious cargo in tow

This year's Charles Meier designed float is named Bollywood Dreams

That's Taylor's in the background, so the float has arrived

The Sierra Madre name will be viewed by millions on Jan. 1st
