Wedding Part 4 - Vedic Ceremony

We had two different ceremonies for our wedding, the first ceremony was the Vedic ceremony.

Welcoming the groom

Kanyadaan - parents giving away the bride

Mangalsutra (Just like the wedding band in Hindu tradition the girl adorns a magalstura - auspicious thread - more like a pretty necklace)

Seven vows (promises we make to each other)

seven vows continued

put our heads together and take every decision together henceforth

Final step Exchanging garlands :) :)

Wedding part 3 - Bangles & Dancing

Traditionally the bride is supposed to wear green bangles (odd numbers in each hand) till after the wedding. The green bangles are considered auspicious

my sister performed during the Mehendi ceremony, I joined in for a few minutes and finally everybody else joined in too...we had lots of fun

my dad had never ever danced before...he had to be dragged to the floor

finally getting Terence on the floor

Mehendi Ceremony

Our wedding began with a Mehendi ceremony on the 27th of December. I had the mehendi ladies coming home for my mehendi one day prior to the actual event because she wanted to finish my Mehendi without any interruptions
