Thanks!

He was friends with Mayank (Jaya's brother) too and he said that his sis didn't have anything to do and would love to help me out... so I started going to her house every day for about a year and we became great friends! :)<br />Yeah it's her closest friends (and a few relatives that are young and friends - not grandparents or anything) that sit with her and stay all night, etc. It's almost the same as the bridesmaid. <br /><br />With Hindu law, divorce is allowed, but there are laws that say what is grounds for divorce (Hindu Marriage Act 1955). They can't get divorced in their first year of marriage and there is a huge stigma attached to divorce here, so it's pretty uncommon. It happens more often in the bigger cities though.SouthAsiaRockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689587412673951450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17211753.post-37680607598898588782009-10-12T09:43:15.733+05:302009-10-12T09:43:15.733+05:30So sad!!!

I am curious how you and the bride became friends :) You know me, I always want more of the story. Also, is it just her closest friends that sit with her, steal the shoe, etc. And, this is random, but got me thinking... after all of the wedding ceremonial things they go through - are they allowed to get divorced in their hindi tradition?Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977872363024289245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17211753.post-58476243051135891472009-10-11T20:33:16.222+05:302009-10-11T20:33:16.222+05:30This was a really great series of the wedding.
