7. Gorgeous - all of you!!

I'll bet the feast was fantastic as well.

I have one question:

I've seen the red stripe before on the parted hair - just what does it signify?

Thanks....

17. great pics

Were they from when you recently went to India, or is it an Indian-style wedding here in the US?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. it was a wedding in india a couple of years ago

i just had time to scan the pics and i do now

[CanuckAmok]

20. beautiful

btw, who is the woman seated beside the bride in the third pic (eyes closed)? Va-va-voom.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. me

ha ha...as though you didnt know that

on edit: thank you

[CanuckAmok]

22. I didn't!

I double-checked, and confirmed she was wearing a different sari. I thought she looked alot like you... I thought perhaps a sister.

:)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. different days...wedding and reception!

i generally dont get my hair proffessionally done...the wedding i had..i think thats really the difference

[CanuckAmok]

25. are they always on different days?

I didn't know that. My familiarity of Indian weddings comes from the Simpsons.



(that's me in the tux)


Now... getting back to this sister of yours, is she single?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. ok can recognize me in this one?

yes the wedding is hosted by the bride and the reception by the groom

[Left Is Write]

23. Wow, how gorgeous!

You all look beautiful, and the dresses are stunning.

[fortyfeetunder]

27. Nice pictures

Thank you for sharing them. Everyone looks so radiant on that special day!

28. Beautiful pics.

My cousin was recently married in an Indian wedding. Lots of similar colors, pomp amd circumstance like this one.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. i love color at weddings

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. It's a nice touch.

Just curious, how long did this wedding last? The last one I went to went on for a good 3-4 hours, mainly because of all the recitations the "priest" (brahmin?) had to go through.

I swear, it was like a dissertation set to chanting.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. went on for a while

but unlike church weddings the guests arent expected to stay there..so we socialized/had dinner etc

[Starbucks Anarchist]

37. I had a similar experience.

After about a half hour, the audience was chattering so loudly that it drowned out the brahmin. But as far as I know, people still stayed for the whole thing.

[Whoa_Nelly]

29. Am speechless!

What a beautiful wedding!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. it really was a pretty wedding

the bride was just stunning (if cranky...she didnt enjoy her wedding at all)

[Whoa_Nelly]

34. Omigosh! Why not???

She looked awesomely happy!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. shes a cranky person

and got irritated that she had to smile so much

i love her...but ya know..shes just cranky

[Robeson]

33. Very Pretty....

...what a beautiful wedding! Great pics!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

38. thanks

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. kick

for redqueen

[redqueen]

40. Thanks!

Beautiful pics... so festive! :D

[seemunkee]

41. Do the leaves the bride is holding have some significance?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. yes..

its called the first sight....signifying the first time she sees her groom *clearly not in this instance they have been dating for 3 years

[atomic-fly]

42. Stunning...diversity is beautiful. I love your culture.

I live in a walmart culture...blah.

[no name no slogan]

43. beautiful photos!

I've never seen pictures of an Indian wedding before. I have a friend who got married in Pakistan and she also wore red. I'd much prefer a bride in a color other than white. White is so artifcial and victorian.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. white is worn by our widows

[antigone382]

46. Indian culture is just so rich and gorgeous...

I just read a translation of the Ramayana last weekend (not the whole thing...it was a slightly abridged version in my world lit. It's such a beautiful story; Rama is far nobler than Odysseus, Beowulf, or a lot of the heroes of Western epics.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

47. i hate rama

i think he was a super wimp

mahabharata is a more fun/erotic epic....

[antigone382]

48. I'm about to read that, actually.

Thanks for the recommendation!
