Indian Wedding


I went to an Indian wedding which was quite special since in India the wedding is the biggest event and costliest for the culture here. There was amazingly good Indian vegetarain food served buffet style, some of the guests feed me with their spoon and vice versa as part of the tradition. When you are done eating you throw the plate on the floor. There was much excitment everywhere, hundreds of Indians, and I was the only non-Indian Western so lots of people of all ages were coming up to me asking me what is your good name sir and where are you from, and are you enjoying yourself, come to the dance floor. The dance floor was like an on site Bollywood movie, loud music and dancing, I danced some and there was plenty of photo taking w/ the bride and groom. Groom on left, bride is in red on right. It was a fun evening and luckily I befriended a shopkeeper after making a purchase for a special someone in CO and talked w/ him over some chai when he invited me. I arrived home very late and luckily a worker outside let me in, so I didn't have to sleep outside by the Ganga w/ the Babas.
