My New Indian Bride





( My NIBs FABULOUS shoes!!!)


My new Indian bride (NIB) got hitched last weekend and I had the privilege to be a part of this momentous occasion. The Indian culture prides itself on family, friend, festivities and food, after a weekend of indulging I am on my way home with new friendships a full belly and fun memories. Indian weddings last a week or so long and if they could be extended I am sure they would. My NIB kicked off the festivities on Friday night with the Sangeet which traditionally is like a Ladies night except these days it’s another excuse to get everyone together and partay. My NIBs sangeet was themed pretty in pink, and pretty it was. Everyone, including the men, sported some shade of pink and represented it beautifully. I was happy since pink is one of my favorite colors... Yellow might have been a different story, ha-ha. Sangeet translates to music/songs; the ladies sit around and sing folk songs for the bride. Somewhere between eating, singing, and dancing, strangers become friends.

(even the hills were pink!!!)

My NIB wedding ceremony was bright and early on Saturday morning and she walked in looking stunning! More importantly check out the shoes... they are fabulous! The bright colors and fresh fruits that decorated the lunch ceremony were fun! AND regardless of daylight or night fall I love that my fellow Indian can tear up the dance floor. Everyone was on the floor, shrugging their shoulders and turning the light bulb, but no party is complete without some MJ and Prince... all in all it was an amazing weekend. Congratulations to my New Indian Bride, wishing you lots of love and happiness as you begin this new chapter in your life. Remember to always take a deep breath and enjoy the moment.
