Wedding!

I promised that I would add some pictures of Indian Weddings!  I was actually able to attend a small part of a wedding, and I do have some nice pictures!  I'll put some of them up; but remember many more will follow after these next few weeks!

This first picture is of the Bride!  The bride always wears red, it is basically a "mandatory color."  Also, if you can see her hands and wrists you will notice that she is wearing many many bangles and ornaments on her hands and fingers!

 During a Gujarati ceremony the Bride and Groom will walk around a small fire, each of the seven rounds they take mean a different thing.

 These are the feet of the Bride.  The Bride will have Mehendi on her feet/legs and arms/hands.  It is very beautiful!  There are Piles being placed around her ankles right now, it is a traditional ornament that many women wear.  Also, children will wear them until they are about 6 years of age.

 During the ceremony the Bride feeds the Groom sweets.

 And the Groom feeds the Bride sweets!
