So these are a few photos from the wedding that I went to on Sunday. The groom is Natasha's mom's cousin. Natasha is standing next to me, also in red.
First, we waited while the groom got dressed (which took ages - worse than a woman, and longer than the bride). We ate sweet snacks while he got ready.
Then a mask is put on him so that he can't see.
He then is goes out to the horse, where people are waiting and cheering. There is a band playing the entire time (band means two guys with drums).
Normally, the horse is supposed to take the groom all the way to the temple, but in this case, he went 5 minutes and then took his Suzuki Swift.
The bride's family is waiting for the groom (and in this case the bride as well), and her sisters are supposed to try to steal his shoes, while his family protects them. In the end, it was a tie: one shoe each.
Then, at the temple we sat cross legged while things happened. At one stage, the groom held a pink scarf, which the bride also held and then they walked around some sort of temply/pyramidy looking thing. Everything happened in Hindi and I am fuzzy on the details.
It was nice. And afterward, there was food. Of course.
(And I apologize for the format of the photos - I tried to rearrange them, but without success.)
