The Hindu Wedding Process





It's not simply a wedding, it is truely a process. the pictures start at a hotel where the grooms family assembled to see him get dressed up into the traditional Indian wedding attire. Saurabh is the grooms name, and his father Uday is the CEO of SIS. This event lasted for less than an hour, we then traveled by car to another gathering place where some of the men from the brides family met us, then a procession was conducted through the streets of Delhi to the Reception Facility. The wife, and her family were there waiting. The groom had a photo opportunity on the horse, but he actually rode to the reception in a car. All of the rest of us walked with a band, fireworks, lights, singing and dancing. The pictures don't begin to tell the storey. It was a lot of noise and merryment. There are a lot of pictures, and I will try to keep it organized and understandable. The picture of me is in the new suit that Prakash's brother "Harish" made for me.
