Time for another Indian wedding? What to wear?

Should I go the traditional lehenga route?

Opt for the sari and make mother and aunts happy?

Choose a more youthful attire?

Or completely forgo tradition and run with a modern approach?

My mom would disown me if I wore the above!

Remember I promised photos from the Indian weddings I’ve attended this Summer? No? Yea, I was hoping you would forget! Here are a few images from my friend’s Hindu wedding ceremony.

Exchanging the garlands symbolizes the bride and groom’s adoration for each other.

Nope, it’s not what you think. I’m completely sober. I’m just easily amused.

Another weekend of engagements and weddings… sigh…

One of these days I’ll process all of the photos I’ve taken so far this summer.

Below is the Mangalya Dharana (tying the knot) during a Hindu wedding ceremony.

Happy Friday!
