So this past Sunday we attend our first Indian wedding.
We got there way too early, so we waited for two hours at the location. :(
It didn't help that the limo was late to pick up the groom, so it threw the whole schedule off.
We also didn't know what was going on. AHHAHA. We saw people walking outside and found ourselfs in an empty hall. We decided to head outside ourselves, and we heard people cheering and stuff. Everyone was outside!!!!
Apparently, the guest where suppose to follow the groom to the location and like a big cheering crowd, walk him into the hall. hahah
With the direction of the camera guy, he guided us to the back of the crowd.
We all followed the groom in, people cheered and stuff. Then everyone was seated and the ceremony began. So that very interesting and different!
The priest was funny... at the begin, he was making sure the groom was ready.. HAHHA
The priest mention that this was a modified version, and that the traditional version is very extensive. For example, he cut this part to 15 minutes, and It's usually an hour!! Just for this part!! A guest later told us that the ceremonies are usually 4-5 Hours!!! Can you imagine sitting there for that long!! geeze..
They had a great entertainment session too. This girl did a great job dancing their traditional Indian dances. She came all the way from Sac. The wedding was held in San Jose.
They also had Hawaiian dancers and drummers..
They had other dances scheduled, but we didn't get to see the rest, because by 9:00 pm we were ready to go. I was tired, and they were just starting to server dinner too, but with an hour drive back home and having to wake up at the break of dawn the next morning to go to work, we couldn't stay any longer.
Over all, It was a great wedding and I was honored to be asked to be part of something so special!!!!
This is the look I rocked for the wedding...
Just something light. Used browns and golds. ^_^
I have to color my hair.... it has SOOOoooo many colors in it right now!! errrrrr..
