Indian Wedding

We were invited to Sathya (Ben's secretary) and Jay's wedding this past week. That is the first funny part....it was during the week. The reception was on Tuesday evening at 7pm and the actual wedding ceremony was Wednesday morning at 6am.
The reception was to greet the couple take photos (snaps as they are called here) and be part of a video.
After the photo session, it was time to eat. There was no shortage of food. They kept piling it on your plate, I mean banana leaf. The food was served out of metal buckets and stored in huge metal bowls.






The food was great. I was looking forward to wedding cake, but no such luck. We had

to settle for ice cream.

What's next....Dancing? Not here....It was time to go home since the wedding ceremony is at 6am in morning. I hope you enjoy the slideshow of the ceremony. The traditions and rituals are truly amazing.

This experience was worth getting up at 4:30 am!
