Just so you know, Kimber and I both arrived home yesterday (Wednesday, June 16) but there is much yet to tell about the trip. Pretend we aren't really home, but still abroad writing about all of our experiences.
Sunday, June 13, was Priya's wedding day. Kimber has promised to write about it because she uses words like a painter uses colors and that's exactly what is needed. But, here is a brief overview.
Priya's dad told us yesterday that a Hindu wedding was "organized chaos". I didn't understand what he meant, but I do now! There were people going in every direction and doing a million different things, but somehow it all worked together. Everywhere you looked something was happening.
We both wore western clothes to the wedding venue, There I was dressed in my sari. It was a beautiful blue color and I felt very pretty and Cinderella like. Kimber wore a satin suit which consisted of a long skirt with beautiful embroidery and a long satin jacket. We are so grateful to the aunties and sisters in law who loaned clothes for us to wear during the week.
While I was being dressed (and putting on a sari is NOT a one woman job. It takes several sets of hands and many, many safety pins!), Diane arrived with sari in hand. One of the aunties kindly dressed her as well. We got to sit on the second or third row right on the aisle so we had a good view of the stage.
Kimber took a lot of pictures which she has posted on facebook and which I will have her post here.
Because I want to get this up and I'm about to fall asleep, I'm going to go ahead and post this incomplete wedding description. More tomorrow.....
