Last night, Adam and I became the Wedding Crashers! Right now we are in the south of our country in a city called B'lore. On our way to dinner last night, we saw a HUGE wedding party on the palace grounds... it was a marriage between 2 families of our PG. So we thought... hmmm... Let's check it out! So, after we ate dinner, we went back to the place we are staying and changed clothes and went to the wedding. It was the biggest wedding I've seen in my life!! It was HUGE!!!! In the pic above you can sort-of see how huge it was just inside one of the tents!They had many different stations on the outside area... they had henna stations, magician stations for the kids, and even a hukka counter... hahaha
There was sooooo much food! They had food lining the parimeter of the entire tent! Food from almost every part of the country!! It was crazy!! They had some great decorations for the food!! It was awesome! Look at all these carved watermellons below:
They even had people serving candy bars (below):
This is a bad picture, but it's a picture of the groom coming in on horseback... he was mauled by all the people around... giving him good wishes and throwing money, flowers and other things at him :)
The groom's family men all identified themselves by wearing these red scarves around their necks :) They were all very proud!
There was a HUGE stage at the front of the building. The groom and his close family sat there and were awaiting the bride... we didnt' get the chance to stick around for her to come...
It was definitely a cool event! We had a lot of cultural learning and a lot of fun! Crashing Weddings here is awesome!
