Sangeet!

Today we traveled to Baroda. We all piled into a big van with our luggage all on top…Indian Style. We also lost the air conditioning, so it was a pretty darn hot three hour drive.

Upon arrival to the resort (yes I said resort), we were quickly checked in and then able to relax for an hour or two before getting ready for the Sangeet tonight. Kevin’s first time wearing Indian clothes and looked quite handsome if I do say so myself šŸ™‚

The event was really cool.Ā  The basic idea is very similar to the previous Sangeet we attended, but of course we will be partial to Hima’s. It was beautifully set up, and the music performances were great. We danced a lot (I even got Kevin out there!) with Hima and Keval who both looked amazing (and happy…which is the most important part). As part of the performances, friends of the bride and groom were called up on stage and asked to talk about their friendship… Of course this was all said in Gujrati and was only translated for me about 10 seconds before I was handed the microphone. So for a non public speaker like myself, my heart instantly raced knowing I was gonna sound stupid because I had no time to prepare. Hopefully that wasn’t the case…

We had so much fun šŸ™‚
