This past week I was apart of my friend Sharon's wedding. She is Hindi, so I had a lot to learn including a dance to do in front of 400 people!!! The Hindi culture knows how to do weddings... they last five days long!! The wedding started on Wednesday night. (the picture on the left is from Wednesday night...that is Sharon with me) That night the women stayed at home and "partied" while the men went to the grooms house to do a couple of ceremonies. It was tons of fun!! On Thursday night Mike and I both went. (the picture on the right is from Thursday night... that is her cousin) It was also held at her house. This is when all the women get henna done on their hands... while Sharon gets it done on her hands and feet. She was stuck in her room for about four hours getting it done... but it looked so beautiful!! The women also performed a ceremony that night at a neighbors yard, which was really neat to watch. The men stayed back and drank Kava... which Mike wasn't a real big fan of...lol.We missed Friday night because my cousin was in town... but that night she got oil put on her, so that her skin would look amazing for Saturday, which it did!! On Saturday night, it was the actual wedding ceremony, which lasted about 5 hours!! It was really amazing to watch and Sharon looked absolutely amazing!! Saturday night was the night I did my dance and I have it on film, but I have to figure out how to post it on here...lol. So enjoy the pictures till then...
