Today finally started Hima’s wedding festivities! Haldi Ceremony and Ganesh Puja (see “Nobody Comes to India” post if you need a refresher on what that means).
The ceremony was beautiful and emotional for her family. It’s always so sweet seeing emotions on people who may normally be more stoic in nature. I was even able to participate…
The rest of the day involved hanging around the house for the Mehendi Party (henna!). I’m not going to post Hima’s although it’s beautiful, so that it’s a surprise for Keval. But here’s mine 🙂
Dinner was take out Chinese which was actually a nice change of pace as we’ve had nothing but Indian since we arrived. Seven days and counting eating vegetarian which for those that know me, know that this is a serious feat. Kevin, on the other hand, could be vegetarian at home if I would cook that way. But he is happy for a change of pace as well.Â
Tomorrow we travel to Boroda for the rest of the time here in India. Our days are dwindling, but the best is yet to come.Â
