More Wedding.....

The wedding in the village was a completely different experience from the wedding in Ahmedabad!  I was able to see more of the traditional aspects of the wedding!  For example, I was able to see when the wedding dress is brought to the Bride's house by her close relatives on her mom's side, I was able to see when the close relatives of the bride feed sweets to the Groom and his family, and much more!  It was also interesting to live in a village for a few days because their living style is completely different; in the cities people eat dinner around 9 in the evening, lunch around 2, etc.  But in the villages they wake up around 3 in the morning, and have breakfast then, so they are ready for lunch and dinner earlier, therefore their timings are completely different than those of the city folk!  This was an unforgettable experience for sure!!

The first picture above is of a swing in the village; when one walks through a village in India there is a swing in every house and the people just sit on the swings and relax and watch the people who are walking by!  The second is a picture of some of the ladies at the wedding who are picking fruits from the tree!   The third is of one of the rivers in the village; when I took this picture there were lots of Buffalo in it so I could hear the Buffalo move throughout the muddy water!
