Here Comes The Bride... An Indian Wedding

This past Thursday, our team had the privilege of being invited to an Indian wedding.  Incredible!  (Really we were friends of a friend of the bride, but in India, the more the merrier.)

What an experience! The wedding was beautiful (and hot) and it makes me want to have a wedding in India so I can participate in all of the fun activities, ceremonies, and fun (marrying Bob again of course!).  Indian weddings normally last a couple of days, so we attended the ceremony on the second day where the couple "exchanged their promises."   Indians are very superstitious and they want weddings to occur on an  time and day, when all the stars and moons are aligned to bring the most fortune to the bride and groom.  Thus, the actual vow exchanges took place at 9:17am!

Beautiful girls!
It was quite the event- with two bands, servers walking around with food and drinks (one of which looked like Fanta but actually tasted like a salty egg...gross), flat-screen televisions with a live-feed of the nuptials, and lots of politicians stopping by to say congratulations.

 After we said congratulations to the bride and groom, Bob and I had to head out because Hannah was soooo hot and was melting down.  I am so thankful that Hannah can drink out of a straw because bottled water and straws are our best friend!

Hot baby

On the way home, Hannah crashed out in Bob's arms.  She never does that so it was quite the treat!

  1. That story sounds really similar to our Indian wedding experience! Kyle held Landon in the front seat by the AC vents bc he was so hot and he slept the whole way home.
    You look BEAUTIFUL in your sari!
